Hi sweetie completely understand I too am having the same I had an MRI scan to rule out any other illness as if what I have isn't bad enough :( luckily I don't have MS but my Fibromyalgia and Cervical Spondylosis has got worse :( I am lying in bed at the moment typing this up :( I am having a flare up I just feel really wiped out. I have restless leg syndrome and DISH! I hurt in places I didn't before and if I ever venture out I need a crutch to help with my balance because I have weakness in my legs and also I have the right main artery in my neck pressing against the vertebraes and my vision is not good at times as I have a blurred disc at the back of my eyes so need to be careful on the headache side which I get a lot of and I have had no money since June when my ESA ran out! see there I go on my little soap box sorry hon its just one of those days. I need to go and look at my grateful jar that will perk me up :) I hope you feel better very soon sending gentle fluffy hugs xx :) xx

Good morning Angie,sorry to hear that you are suffering so much.If it is RLS then yikes who is a member on here has that,so maybe you could try messaging her to ask about it.It really does get you down when there are a lot of areas that are all in flare at the same time doesn't it :( I really can emphathise as Iam still like it myself with everything in flare.My depression is bad and I find it hard to fight it.Funny enough I was thinking of Xmas this morning as I normally look forward to it but in a way Iam dreading all the shopping as getting out is so hard,will probanly try to get some of it online I think.I was wondering why I hadn't heard from you :( Which antidepressant are you taking? I have now been re-referred to mental health so have got to wait to see them till I can change antidepressant.Just want you to know that Iam thinking of you and will be sending lots of fluffy healing cuddles your way xxx

Hi,

those flare-ups are the absolute pits. I have RLS and take ropinerol for it, it really helps me. I am also currently working with the clinical psychologist from the pain management clinic and that seems to also be helping. I was very surprised to find out, when I had my eyes tested, that Fibro can affect our vision. We seem to find all kind of issues coming out of the wood work :-(

Hugs

hi jilly x I will be discussing seeing someone from the psychologist side of things on Friday at the pain clinic , sometimes I find things to hard , but then somehow find the strength again to carry on , looking at my family gives me the strength too .

I hope he gives me something for my legs as they never stop , 24-7 they drive me mad.

I didn't have to wear glasses , but last year I went to have my eyes checked and I now wear glasses all the time ty fibro !!

big hugs to you jilly xxxtc x angie

Hithere broadband, unfortunately this fibro affect nearly every part of our body, in fact for the life of me I can't think of a part it doesn't affect and it's a bummer, it's affecting my bladder very badly and has done for some time now, and every now n then it effect my bowel as well as the ibs, and that can be embarrassing, ....I alo get restless legs syndrome hitch use to drive me bonkers, I now take magnesium+D and. The magnesium does help, I still get the restless legs now n then, but now where near as bad, it was recommended that I took thm by my doctor, I take them a couple of hours before I go to bed with black garlic tablets, ...she also recommended that I take Q10 for extra energy....hop this helps....sending you gentle hugs....Dee xx
