Achieve pain when I go to bed at night cramps real bad,anyone else had that let me know please.Going to Dr's on Wednesday see if I can have a pain killers as lyricax2 no good on there own,perhaps amiltryptolene with my lyrica,ha wish me luck at Dr's think she thinks I'm making it up 😟. Thought writing it all down here would make me feel better πŸ€”Just so fed up like you all are being in pain 24/7! Frustrating and want to get on with my life somehow can't see that at the moment . I see a Phsycologist every 2 weeks but not sure that's helping either. Feel like I'm loosing my marbles keep forgetting things so quickly 😲😩😨. Any advice welcome thank you .x

Hello Thunder 1 from Nurse Gladys Emanuel (open all hours) not sure where you are but can you get yourself or someone with you; to a local swimming pool / gymn that has a Jacuzzi? a good soak a bit of stretching those tired limbs and muscles dose me the world of good, I also have hydrotherapy with a physio at local hospital this is really heaven for RLS/Fibro/ME/CFS and some mild stroke victims, they go in the water with you , there are assistants to help with dressing.. I got this via my rheumatologist but any hospital consultant can refer you if you ask them. tell them other sufferers are saying its so good.

Great I will talk to my dr about this on Wednesday or phone my rhematologist. Thank you 😊

Hi

Sorry that you're having such a bad time of it.

I'm afraid that I cannot give you any real help, as none of the meds have helped me either. As everyone's different it's hard to say what my get help.

All I can say is that I find a hot water bottle helps, Volterol gel and aspirin. It doesn't go but it helps a little. I have been told that to fight it and get stressed really doesn't help, so to try to relax more. I do a little then have a rest and maybe some tablets and so it goes on. I have a gentle massage every so often too. I also have are extra vits, hemp tablets, herbal sleeping tablets. I listen to talking books during the long sleepless nights, which helps me to relax and not think of things too much.

I really hope that you can get some help soon. Take care and best wishes.

Hi Thunder1

I am so gneuinely sorry to read that you are suffering and struggling and I sincerely hope that your GP appointment goes really well for you. I do gentle daily physiotherapy to help alleviate pain and also use a TENS Machine which I find very useful. I have pasted you an excerpt and a link from a *NHS & Arthritis UK pdf file about TENS Machines below:

*How can I try a TENS machine?

You can ask your doctor to refer you to a physiotherapist to try a TENS machine. If

TENS helps to relieve your pain, your physiotherapist is likely to give you between

20 minutes and a couple of hours with the machine. It may take a few sessions to get

used to. TENS can be used for one hour on, one hour off, throughout day.

I also have my medication for Fibro, I have Pregabalin, Nortriptyline and Cocodamol and together they also help me. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi susanna555

Do you think your GP may refer you to physiotherapy? If so, then they can send you to pain management or pain management courses if they feel you would benefit? It may be worth a try? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you
