To shell,
                     Thank you for your reply,its nice to have someone to talk to sometimes i feel like im going mad,my doc is now doing some more blood work now and am just waiting for the results but they are always doing blood work on me and the only thing that comes back is high liver function tests,

its so frustrating because i don't drink don't smoke and don't understand y this keeps happening some days i ache so much and all i want to do is sleep and then it all just goes although im left with the pins and needles feeling and a slight discomfort till the next time it comes back.
once my blood work comes back i shall go back to my doctor and say what you said its time for some real answers, thank you again for your advise, jordan.

Hi Jordon,

Thank you joining us. I'm sure you are at your wits end or you'd not be looking for help on the net. We understand :)

While some of this does not sound MSish to me - I do think you need a plan to try to address some of these problems with your doctor.... 1st being a visit to the doc who dx'd you w/the stomach not emptying problem. Can you call this office and follow up?

And, a trip to your regular MD is in order. I advise you bring with you a short list of some of what you said here...

Current symptoms
-bloated feeling sick
-stomach pains
-liver problem

-bones hurt in my hands knees hips (i.e., hands hurt when doing things)
-pins and needles in my left arm and hand and right hand and back of my neck
-memory lapses

While MS may not be a concern for you at all (my feeling is this other stuff should be on someone's radar - not MS), you need to make some progress with your current doctor. Look doc directly in the eye and ask "what could be going wrong with me?"

If the doc is not willing to find out - move on to one who will.

Hope we can be of support for you.
