AutoImmune Disorders

I've had a problem for two years.  The first year it bothered me only a little bit.  The second year (2011) it bothered me ALL. THE. TIME.  I stopped exercising.  Which was a bad thing.  I have no problem saying that exercise replaces my need for prescribed drugs.
I thought it was a nerve problem.  We treated it with massage, chiropractic, foam rolling, myofascial release, physical therapy and anything else I could think of that would help a muskuloskeletal issue.  Two months ago my mom told me she thought it was (insert very uncommon AI disorder which causes female-parts pain) because she has the same thing.  I told her she was wrong and that it was muscular.  I then went to my fourth new doctor for answers and what do you know.... listen to your mother.

Good news:  for the first time in four months I can function normally past 6pm, the treatment is a $10 (ten freaking dollars) tube of steroid creme.  I am also going to treat it with diet.  So, please don't offer me a cookie, or chocolate.  Also, maybe soon I can exercise.
