Constantly suffering from fatigue , not safe to work or drive
I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my right hip and back, tomorrow I'm having injection in the hip, nothing being done about the back pain .That may help ?
Also in my right leg I have lymphoma
I feel very strongly that the pain and discomfort is all to with my bowels, constantly on antibiotics because of over growth of bacteria
