walking my doggie and collapsing!

I walked i think about 2 miles to a burger place (i was trying to find a wig shop which wasnt there!) and 2 miles back. my dog isnt trained well enough yet and i was getting realy pissed that he was pulling alot on the leash. it was hurting me. i was in so much pain. my neck and spine and really all my joints, everything was hurting but the most was my neck and back. i finally got home and met my husband. we were locked out of the apartment and i fell to the ground and closed my eyes. didnt move for about 10 minutes. When will this all end???????????????

I'm so sorry to hear what your going thru! This all happened to me when I was 19. That's 20 years ago now. Hopefully they've caught your case in time that you can be treated and it will go away.

Hang in there. You're not crazy. Although this disease makes you feel that way.
