Told You It Was Not All In My Head!

The symptoms for Fibromyalgia are not what I have been complaining about for all these years, infact not one of them fits my lumpy area pain, it was just a bonus condition (aren't I lucky Wink

)

Oh yes, if I do indeed have it I will feel so lucky too...heh Group Hug

When all else fails, play dead!

Mmm...Blather all you want Keilia!
Maybe you have fibro AND something else, where does it say you should hurt, and where do you actually hurt?
For the joint pain, I do lots of work one day, go to bed and when I get up I get horrendous pain. I take 2x750mg tabs of glucosamine before I go to bed. It doesn't take the pain away, it just knocks it back to liveable levels, from the 'weekend of pain in bed' stuff.

Here are the 18 tender points of Fibro - 18 tender points of fibromyalgia

As you can see, none of them are at joints. My pain is primarily joint pain, and in the last couple of days has started to grow from my joints up my legs and arms, a burning shooting pain. It feels more like bone pain than muscle pain, if that makes sense.

Quote

Fibromyalgia is a common rheumatic syndrome indicating widespread pain in fibrous tissues, muscles, tendons, and other connective tissues, resulting in painful muscles without weakness. The cause of this disorder is unknown, although it is a chronic problem that can come and go for years.

I also have muscle weakness, getting worse all the time, on my right side. I have been tested for and ruled out Multiple Sclerosis. I do have an essential tremor on my left arm. I hardly notice it, and I would not have known has the neurologist not noticed it during my exam. I guess I am so used to my tremors I hardly notice them anymore.

Oh - what actually hurts is my joints - Started with my wrists, then elbows, then knees, then ankles, then small bones on feet and hands, now it has spread to hips and my right shoulder. I have been prescribed Diclofenac, Vicodin, and Vicoprofen. None of them work. So anti-inflammatories, hydrocodone (opiates) and NSAIDS, none of them work. Confused

Hurt so bad today. Very bad. Woke up in the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life. It subsided a little with walking. I am also so exhausted, even though I know I got enough sleep. I think the pain actually woke me up today. Also, in the last 2 hours I have noticed that I am losing motion on my right side. Am also starting to get muscle pain, in my palm, my right arm (lower) and my lower right leg. This is on top of the joint pain. Also, before, moving didnt worsen my joint pain, but now it is. My left knee, ankle and wrist still hurt, but nothing like my right side. I would go to the ER, but they are useless there. Dont wanna pay a 200 dollar copay for them to tell me to go see my GP. (And my GP tells me to go to the ER if it hurts like this). Losing most of the motion with my right shoulder and my right thumb and forefinger.
Cry
