Mysterious Illness from Hell

I've been very sick for almost 4 months now. It would take too long to describe all the painful symptoms. Don't know the name of my illness because I've been way too sick to get to a doctor. I'm 77 years old and ready to die if it's my time. I have no family and all my contemporaries have moved hundreds or thousands of miles to live with their adult children. I have no children, no family. I was an only child so no siblings. Its been a painful and very lonely time for me. I have started to feel better these last 2 weeks. Until today I was unable to even post a message here. Just too sick. Now it looks to me as if I might recover. At least I am almost well enough to see a doctor now and will go one of these days. My health service doesn't do much for old folks. I'm in a lot of pain of various kinds most of the time. I am pretty much bedridden. Being a Christian helps (converted from Judiasm about 3 years ago).

Not much to say. Sorry this post is so boring and depressing. Just wanted to reach out to people for the first time in months. I'm in pain and lonely. If you even just let me know you've read this, I will feel less alone and that will help. Four months of multiple kinds of pain plus total loneliness really sucks. Hope this post finds all who are reading it in excellent health. The value and importance of good health can never be overestimated. Thank you for reading my post.

UPDATE: Still sick but fewer symptoms. Still have itchy rash over whole body. Bladder still painful and leaky. Depressed most of the time but cheered a little to know there are people out there (on this wrbsite) who care and wish me well. Doctor keeps sending me meds that so far haven't worked. Now he can't send me anymore meds because my credit card doesn't work! Too tired and miserable to figure out what to do. Thanks to all you good people on here who have wished me well. Most days I just pray to die. An itchy rash covers my body and I lie in puddles of urine due to a bladder infection. After months of this I feel so defeated I just pray to die. Lonely. In 11 months of being sick I haven't had 1 visitor and very few phone calls; most phone calls in my life are sales pitches. I am living a useless lonely painful life and wishing it would end.
