Just remember when you are down that you are not alone if you come on this site as if we are all truthful we have days when everything seems very black and we can see no light at the end of the tunnel so we can truely emphathise with your situation. Soft hugs coming your way.x

I think that unfortunately doctors seem to think that the anxiety and depression causes all the symptoms nut alot of people get anxiety and depression because of their pain, fatigue and lack of sleep and the anxiety of not knowing what the future will bring.x

Thanks Rosewine

I dont sleep very well, Have days in house now get up an go, then have 1 good day i can do few things, bt have constantly sit down due t the pain...

And Yes my doctor always putting it down to my depression, pain killers dont take away the pain.. Plus constantly taking pain killers sets of my ibs an give me violent headaches.

Cant win

For me it started about 10yrs ago, out on a long walk as i always have done no problem, Only when got home i didnt realise that id got loads of little red spots on the back of my legs from ankle to knee , swollen and was a burning pain, when tried walk my legs were like concrete and burning sensation..

So

Its been back an forth to the doctors for 10yrs, as the symptoms over this period has got so bad i need my doctor to acknowledge there is a reason why im suffering and not that im depressed..

Now ive found this site have booked in see my doctor nxt fri, an will ask about Fibromyaglia

sorry go on so much its hard to write how i feel and the pain and all the symptoms,with out coming across like a hypochondriac

I understand where you are coming from. Gentle hugs and good thoughts. You are not alone. I live in states so when others are sleeping I am awake. Time zones are great! I find that many have problems sleeping so there is usually someone hear to reply to some of the silly things I post. Or the pick me up that I need when pain is beyond what I can take! 💐🌻🌺
