Does anyone get pain or problems more on one side of the body. I swear if I cut my whole left side off I'd be as fit as a fiddle

Yes I used to be just like that you could have drawn a line down the middle. Unfortunately, I have problems both sides now but there is always one side which is worse. Yes I agree with the foggy head, I wish I could unscrew mine sometimes and clean it out.

Hi nothingwrong

I am so sorry to read that you are having this problem at the present time and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue.

I know exactly what you mean! A good 80% of my Fibro is on my right side. I get neck, shoulder, arm, wrist and hand pain on the right. My rib aching is always on the right side, and then there is my issue with my arthritis, removed disc and lack of a coccyx which all gives pain on the right side. Plus I have upper leg and then ankle / foot problem on the right side! So yes, I know exactly what you mean and it is very frustrating isn't it?

I discuss the issues quite regularly with my GP so she can look at what medication I am taking for everything. It may be an idea to discuss your problem with your GP also?

I want to wish you all the best of luck with this.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Yes, I am exactly like that. Most of my problems are on my right side. It is a real problem as being right handed I also use that side most. Nightmare

Hi there nothingwrong,

I experience the same, its my whole right side, well it is easier to say that there is nothing right with it, that is where 90% of my problems lie. I have problems with left side but that is to do with different syndromes/illness!

Although like you my fibro-fog in head is in a right mashed up state! Can"t remember my name half the time! Its difficult to hold a conversation even, with anyone as my mind cannot retain any information, I often have to stop mid-sentence as can"t remember what talking about!

I hope you can resolve the pain issues with medication, it can take a while to get the right "cocktail" of meds before you manage to get it under control!

Sending positive healing energies to you
