hi mason, have you seen your gp and consultant?
I had hypnotherapy 10 years ago so I could have an mri. I've had 3 now and been ok.
I have bloods taken from the back of my hands with a butterfly; orange or baby blue needle.
hi i have seen so many doctors i have trie hypnosis it did not work for me also acupuncture .my veins are very fragile even with a baby needle my veins burst and its hard to stop the bleeding .the last time the nurse said n more blood tests for a year .thank you for replying take care ,
Hi mason
I suffer myself with my arms and it's the worst! Can handle back legs butt knees but my arm's are the worst as it effects everything doesn't it! I use pernantion gel and it's really good stuff! Do you feel it's the fibromyalgia? Could it something else? I also have thoratic outlet syndrome and that is. Compression of artery and nerve in the first fib very painful and gives you dead arms? Hurts in shoulder as well?
Hope your ok
Keeley
