Hi
Sorry am new at this. Just wanted to know if there any extra information in regards to my illness. Am already on strong addictive pain killer and looks like will end up in a wheelchair as can't walk due to pain
Would really appreciate any information as doctors say they is no cure for this condition except life time pain killers only

HI,We are not medically trained here so won't be able to give you any advice. The only thing i can say is have a search on google. I just did that and came up with this link here with some information. https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/dercums-disease/
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
