OH. I meant to also add... My dr's diag me with early onset COPD as well (after taking a pulmonary function test).   later i was told it was simply that my constant heartburn was irritating my lungs and causing me to have asthma like symptoms.    what test did they take to diag copd? 

Just read your info on your medical issues.    I can't tell you all the pains I have had over the years and with no doctor being able to find a solution or diagnosis.   I diagnosed MYSELF with fibromyalgia just so my doctor would refer me to a rheumatologist.   he was unable to help either.     I know it sounds too simple and crazy, but you really should have your vit d checked.. if you have not already.   I get pain and sore all over.    all over my legs.. arms.. back.. ribs..  it is even difficult at times to even lift my arms... they feel weighted down!  just folding laundry was difficult.   this has been goin on since i was about 27-28.. i am not 38.    and i just found out my sister had been going thru the same thing!  i had no idea.  her dr treated her for vit d deficiency.. and low and behold, NO more pains!!  i only took one dose so far, but i have high hopes at finally feeling normal again.

I do wish you the best of luck though in finding SOMETHING that helps you!!   good luck. 

Hope all goes well!!!
