Sorry to here you have diagnosed with fibroyalaga It has so many symptoms . but if your short of breath always get it checked out by your GP ,I do get stiffness in my blades and other parts of my body which wipes you out for days But we have to keep going and pace our self Well thats the advice given by everyone i.e physio,GP ect. My advice is, Keep positive/ keep smiling and keep in touch with your fibro buddys on this site. who are here for you Hope your sypmtoms gives you a break for christmas Hugs xx

Hi sorry you feeling crappy, we all seemed to have days even weeks when the pain is draining, the sharpness in your blades is something I suffer from daily going up my neck into my head them day can seem to last forever but it goes as quick as it comes, the shortness if breath is common in some but still best to get it checked out, you should ask about getting referee to pain clinic they really do understand, as you may also have HMS it can come hand in hand, have a great Christmas x

yes,I get a lot of pain in my shoulder blades. Best to do some stretching exercises for it 2-3 times a day, even when sitting down this can be done, once you get into the mode of not moving everything seizes up.

Hi,

Pain is no hard to cope with ongoingly. The areas you describe are similar to mine, and many others (won't make you feel better..sorry ):).

Has the Dr given you any meds to try and help?

Pain clinic in my area is virtually closed, it's so budget reduced, hope yours is better.

Tiff... what is HMS?

Hi there jelly

Yes Dear Thanx a mil...It's highly appreciated...

I am not certain, but i think that HMS probably stands for Hypermobility Syndrome. We have several people on the site with this, so they will be able to explain better than i can.

You are very right my friend and also something that I was inflicted with.............. joyous little disease that affects connective tissues making my joints loose and unstable from over stretching and many injuries etc over the years xxx sian

Good morning Ken

Thank you very much. This site has helped me so much and made me understand that I am not alone and that one thing for sure is that I'm not giving up. My attitude changed towards fibro since I've joined this site and I've got a much clearer understanding of what I'm dealing with. Thank you so much for your reply and to all. Keep well and be safe.
