Never heard of this condition until I described how I felt! I go to sleep and then about an hour later wake up and I feel as though I have been battered about the legs with a base bat and all my bones broke and my legs won't hold me up!

Also I sometimes feel as though I have shaver burned my legs but iv not

I am so genuinely sorry to read that, and I sincerely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to these issues. Fibro can be very painful and very emotionally draining from my perspective, and I want to wish you all the best of luck with getting a diagnosis one way or the other.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Yes, can definitely relate to that feeling. I used to "joke" with my husband that I felt as though I'd been trampled by a herd of wildebeest during the night! I just take a bit of time before I get out of bed, and do some gentle stretching first. My skin burns too. MariLiz

Yes, I have the same pains. I wake up & tell my husband I feel like I've been run over by one of those rollers used to pave highways or that I feel like someone has beaten me with a baseball bat up & down my body. And like MariLiz, my skin burns - majorly.

I find some relief by wearing warm socks to bed, using a heating pad & muscle cream. When my hands hurt, I wear soft, warm gloves - love chenille - wear them or winter & it really helps.

Hope you get some relief.
