I don't post often but do offer some limited advice on occassion. I am able bodied, my
son John had the brainstem stroke and I am a caregiver for him. One of his other
caregivers has the same symptoms as you and was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis.
You may want too get checked out for that. also I have a bulging disk in my back and
so does John and they can give a lot of pain. I go to the Chiropractor and have mine
put back in place. Since most Dr's offices are not truly handicapped accessible (btw)
I think we should talk on that topic for a while it is hard to get him into the
examing room and then he never gets a good exam, it's almost like the Dr's are afraid
to touch you anymore.
