Anthony needs help with medical $$

Donation protected
Here is what is going on.  At this time, my quality of life is 0. Whatever it is, that's causing all this pain is getting worse everyday over the last 7 months. I am a diabetic  (currently uncared for due to lack of funds) Right now I can't even take care of myself, food shopping, cleaning etc without the extreme pain. I've lost a lot of muscle mass.  Food makes me nauseated,  whenever I try to eat anything, sometimes even looking at food makes meverything feel sick.  I'm currently using naproxen  once every 8 hours for the lasthma 4 mon the now. This is giving me severe  diarrhea a minimum of 4 times a day. 

1 - My back has 2 herniated disks that are in very bad shape. I can stand for up to 1 minute before the extreme pain starts. From 1 to 10 scale the pain is a 10.

2 - My left arm when lifted above the bottom of my ribcage instantly becomes numb and feels like it's fallen asleep and my fingers try to close up. I have to force them to straighten out.

3 - My skin from the bottom of my ribcage all around them and down my legs to the tips of my toes, and when anything touches my skin (like putting on clothes, laying down, sitting or showering) it is so painful and burns like it is badly sunburned but the are no marks or redness that I can see.  I cannot wear clothes (except for underware) or cover up with anything not even a sheet without the pain,  That is the only level of pain (badly sunburned feeling).

4 - Starting last week if I don't use a walking cain on my left side or hold on to something I loose my balance and if I don't grab on to something I will fall.

5 - Yesterday my left butt cheek and hip started hurting so bad I had to go to bed and lie on my stomach all day.  When I woke up this morning it had spread to my left thigh and knee. Today it feels like it's also affecting the  bone in those area's. 

 6 - My fingers on my left hand keep clenching up, when they do there is pain until I force them straight. My right pinky finger does the same.

7 - In the last year I've woken up on the floor in different places around my apartment about 7 times now. I never know how I got there. I will get a cam when I can afford it or get one donated and start recording to see what I am doing when it happens. 

8 - The groin pain on my left side that Holy Cross screwed up is still there  7 of 10 scale. 4 doctors (Even Dr. Tocci, the best urologist in Florida) has flat out given up and cannot help me any further with this issue. 

This is my interpretation of what is going on with my health problem. I don't know or cannot remember all those long medical terms, but I will make my reports and the CD's of my MRI's available to anyone that thinks they can help me. I'm open to all advice these days and have tried numerous options like, Holistic medicine,  inversion table, meditation, etc. I am buying "Ensure" whenever I can afford it (it's very expensive) and it is helping to gain my weight back slowly but surly. I'm back up to 134.0 pounds now but when I run out of Ensure I go back down to the lower 120'so.   It's very hard to make meals or even do my food shopping. 

I've never seen any of my doctors or heard them say they have done any research on my issues and I search everyday and have for hundreds of hours so far for others with the same problems and there are so many other people with the exact same problems that I have,  but there are NO answers to any of them.  I really wish I were better educated so I could understand more. I believe my doctor should do more than just keep sending you for diagnostics and reading reports. He/She should be the one that researchers the problem because he/she understands all the medical terms being used. And this is they type of Doctor I am looking for is  (Someone like Dr House from T. V.) If there really is such a doctor like that.

I don't have any privacy issues at this point anymore. I really need a doctor that can help me by donating their time to figuring this out or maybe if at all possible for trade for computer work because money is really tight these days. I am experienced in Healthcare Infomation Technology Services.  My experience is listed on the link below. 
-------------------------------------------------
 I am not receiving any help from local, state, or government agencies. They all rejected me.  Anything will help. Even $1 helps. Please help me get back to a normal life again. Even a prayer will help. Or if there's a Neurologist that can donate his or her time to actually  research these symptoms and help me figure all this out. Any of my references listed on LinkedIn can be checked out if you need to. I will accept all invitations so that you can see and write or call anyone of them.

I know there are a lot of others in worse shape than I am and they deserve the help. But I've been in extreme pain for over 3 years now and I'm just tired of life with no light at the end of the tunnel. I just cannot continue living like this

Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem.  I know its not a cookie recipe or a wish for a vacation.

This is a health problem that just may save my life with your generous help! Or even just a kind word or inspiration. 

I have been a mentor for over 25 years now for young and older people that have become pilars of society and are doing great. I also spend a lot of time helping to feed (by giving them restaurant food gift cards) This gives homeless families and veterans a place to use the bathroom,  washup,  and sit down like human beings enjoy a meal.  Some of them ai have been able to get out of the streets .

I would really like to be able to get back to doing that volunteer work when my health issues can get fixed. Because it has made me very happy while I was able to do it. 

God bless you.
