Hi fibro 10thanks for the response.

I'm just starting to have these symptom for the last three days.

I'm really uncomfortable and got lots of pain my back is really back even around my knee.I'm wondering if its to do with arthritis in any way .

This is a lot of pain..more so annoying even n the back of my neck is soreness.

I'll be checking tomorrow about your suggesting about my back I did have a back problem 3 years ago were I was on therapy for 8 mths physio no surgery just sciatic nerve they said but this is a little different. Could be a combo.who knows I'm just confused and can't believe that this can change your life in a heartbeat. Thanks sweetdreams1234.

Know what you mean about the high heels. I am going to a table top sale tomorrow if the weather is good and taking my last pair of high heels that were worn once after I became ill to try and sell them, I tried them on for the last time and tried walking around with them on and lasted 5 minutes before admitting defeat and they are only about 2 inches high. A friend was good enough to give me a beautiful outfit with a goregous jacket and skirt and offerred me the wonderful purple, suede high heels that went with them that had hardly been worn and were my size and I had to say no thank you. Isn;t it funny how these little things like me not being able to wear a bra either seems to get us down even more than the pain sometimesx

[fibro10 in reply to rosewine]

Too too true rosewine The pain i have learning to cope with.its the things like when I do go out which is not often I like to dress nice and being 4 foot 9 inc my high heels give me a bit of hight to LOL i wore all the time. All so my wedding and engagement rings that I can not wear as my fingers have swelled that is hard after wearing them for 38 years have to wear dress rings as feel bear with out them xxx

[rosewine in reply to fibro10]

Strange you say about the rings but I am the same. Today no rings. I always feel strange if I am out with my husband and I can't wear my wedding ring, I don't feel too bad if I can at least get my engagement ring on. I have bought a couple of cheap silver rings that are like bands with just a bit of decoration on them that could pass for a wedding ring. I don;t want to have extra pieces put in as the wedding ring was engraved with Apple Blossum and to have a piece in and reengraved would be a substantial sum and who knows how long I could wear it and also some days when the going is good I can wear it, it is so frustrating. I now joke with my husband and say I have divorced you today, or we are only engaged today. I at least am 5' 6" so wearing high heels as far as height is concerned doesn;t matter but the heels make legsand outfits look so much betterx

[sweetdreams1234 in reply to rosewine]

I totally understand the pain going to the Dr today gosh darn it he better give me something for pain !! I feel like I'm in my own little bubble wrap and its ready to bust.

This is just awful. I can't believe that one day I wake up and suddenly my life just changed completely. This is strange. I almost want to believe that I have a major illness or something that way I can name it .My friends don't understand this one or my children. They are all grown up and married with their own families and it's so tough when you have to say no to your grandchildren for visits. Boy what a difference.

Good luck with the table sale you all have a great day.

Thanks guys for listening.

Hope you have gone ok at docsx

[sweetdreams1234 in reply to rosewine]

That Dr still refuses to believe me oh my god he told me to suck it up and go for more physio.

Seriously !! He sent me off with a box of antidepressant drugs again .wellbutrin which he asked me to try last month and I got very sick on them.do you believe that I guess I'll have to suck it up until a pt 29 the my rheumy appointment. Which a media center Dr set up to my surprise when he was checking me for a cold and chronic pain. Imagine that

Oh well back to Tylenol and Advil I guess which is causing more stomach problems than anything else. Does nothing for pain tremendously but I'll have to jeep trying

They seem to think that physio is the answer to everything. I have to go for the pain in my hips, well I have a referral but no sign of an appt. yet. . My husband nor I have ever had any decrease in pain with any of the physio we have had before but of course if you don't try it they then won't go any further so we are all between a rock and a hard place. Do you take your Advil with food as if you don't that can causse stomach pain, just a thought. Did he know how ill the Wellbutrin made you?It seems a long time for you to wait until the 29th. Hope the pain decreases of its own accordx
