Hi everyone.I'm Isabel uh I'm 15 and I suffer from serve depression and I have a leg condition that yet has to be diagnosed.The condition in my legs is where in the middle of the night I'll wake up crying with such cruel pain in my legs.it feels like I pulled a muscle.And then after like 5mins it'll stop and I'll just fall back to sleep like nothing happened.I'm in a Twilight zone when it happens.Half awake,Half sleep.I also suffer from TS which stands for Tourette syndrome.My grandma also has diabetes which means it runs in my family and blood.I go everyday scared I might get it oneday.I've been through so much.So many illnesses and pain...I guess that's my story

It kind of hurts when ppl don't understand what I've been through in the past and still going through.so hopefully you all will understand and not write me off
~Thanks heart

you mean diabetes?
i'm fairly sure i have fibromyalgia.
my doctors ran all the tests and did blood work to look for markers of arthritis
i didn't have arthritis, and my doctors try to put me on the bullshit medicines which my mom has tried, and i've seen what they do to her...
anywho, i've been suffering from symptoms since i was 13.

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I also have arthritis. To get the diagnosis, my rheumatologist a lot of different questions and then poked with an instrument on different areas of my body. If it hurts in so many areas, you are diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It's very difficult to diagnose because so little is known about it.

I have Fibromyalgia (and some diabetic neurapathy) My rheumatologist gave me a prescription for Lyrica, but it made me too dizzy and didn't really seem to help. I'm trying out Cymbalta now.
