Hi my name is Richard and I am 31 years old. I am married and have a 2 year old daughter which I stay home full time to care for. I am very new to all of this and am not sure what I should do. I also suffer from severe pain. I also suffer from lack of sleep and mood swings. I have been to several different doctors and have had mri's as well as 20+blood and urine tests to no avail. I am unable to enjoy any time of what once resembled a normal life. In the last two years I have been on every type of pain med there is and only recently have a found a combination the seems to limit the amount of pain I deal with daily to a bearable level...well for the most part. I feel like none of my doctors believe me and have been denied disability twice now. We barely make it on my wifes income...thank god she has a good job with health benefits, but we are on the edge all the time and it scares the hell out of me. I am note sure what to do next or where to turn but I wanted you to know that you are definetely not alone and the answers are there somewhere, it just takes patience and faith that you will get thru this.
