When no one in the medical community knows what's wrong with you OR how to treat what they can't see...they think you are probably making it up. But, when they see you've spent almost 30 years in the military, they figure you are probably telling the truth. So, what you are feeling is called many names: PTSD, arthritis, MS, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue, etc. You then say ok, maybe these or some of these things could be what is making me feel like $$$$. Not really $$$$ but the flip side of the coin (LOL).
Then the Meds begin. Medicine for this. Medicine for that. Vitamins for this and vitamins for that. Guess what? Nothing works for real. The pain does decline from a "9" to possibly a "7". So, you live with it. You run, you jump, you climb, you stand, you wake up early and go to sleep late, you use your brain as much as you use your marching feet and you lead many many others on a daily basis as if you are the epitome of strength.
You live a constant lie!
