I am 48 years old, 5 9 , about 180 lbs, female, diagnosed with hepatitis C about ten years ago, at that time it was dormant, I have awful varicose veins , rope-like, around my knees and sides of my calves, and i take 120 milligrams of methadone daily due to my past drug abuse history of being a heroin addict, i havent used heroin in 16 months, and that is how long i have been taking methadone. My problem is when i wake up i can barely stand up on legs, it is so painful sometimes i feel as if my legs are going to give out on me. I have to hold onto the wall until the pain subsides somewhat, but not entirely, then the pain centers around my knees. This also happens after i sit for awhile and try to stand up again, it usually takes a few tries to regain my footing, but my legs feel so weak and painful. Secondly, my hands always feel as if they are falling asleep, and i have rub them constantly to relieve this, it even wakes me up out of a dead sleep. I have very little energy, feel lethargic, and very depressed over this. At the moment i was laid off of my job and since i was paid cash i do not receive unemployment. I am miserable, alone, and depressed. Can you help me?
