I Have Diabetic Amyotrophy
I am Angela and am 41 years old. I started getting weak and had a hard time walking due to feeling so weak but about 5 months ago I became very painful especially in one side of my lower body. The pain is sever now and on both sides. Burning and strangulation of my legs like I have severe frostbite. Pain meds do not help at all. I have been bedridden and wanted to kill myself from the severe pain. I have had some recent moments of lessening of pain. The burning seems to be moving further down the legs a bit? I am hopeful. It has broke my heart to see my children watch their mother go from an active woman to a very ill feeble woman. I have type one diabetes and before this all came on I had a very bad staph infection and glucose issues. I need to talk to others who have this and see what they are doing about it. I have been sent to therapist and doctor after doctor and to a pain specialist who told me to look at the cup half full rather than half empty. They have never felt this pain. I have not been able to get clothes or shoes on a all and I am so damn cold to the bone. sweating now and dizzy also. Anyone out there that understands? Angela from Oregon
