Hiya Rachel pleased to talk with you, wouldn't it be lovely to be pain free even just for one day. I also have fibro and just at the moment mine is concentrating on my left arm right shoulder my right leg and feet, it just likes to hop about all over so I can't catch it. Yes I would love to crawl out of my body too Rachel it's no fun is it, but even crawling at the moment I would find difficult, had my second knee replacement this year so I can't even manage the crawl lol. I also have lung problems but that's another story, I've been up all night with my breathing last night but my husband who has back problems has had to do several trips downstairs for me for medication and cups of tea bless him as I couldn't hardly walk either, started physio last week and I thought I had really done well till the next day and it felt like I'd run a marathon lol, never mind there only here to help us but I'm not going to make it this morning. I take morpheme for the pain Rachel it helps me more than what I used to take which was tramadol they used to make me very sick I don't know what your GP has given you but you really need something quite strong to help with this type of pain. I wish you good luck and hope you have a little peace from your pain today. Love Maureen x

Welcome to the group. We can all commiserate with you. I found my first 18 months the worst with flare after flare and very few even average bits in between. Eventually I found out more of the things that aggravated the pain and those that lessened it. Unfortunately, we are all different so what suits one doesn't suit another. Have you asked to be referred to a Pain Clinic as they are the experts and might be able to help with advice but often it is the way in to other therapies such as hydrotherapy or acupuncture. Hope you will be feeling a bit better soon. Look forward to your future posts.x

Hi thank you ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ yes I feel that way at the moment having more bad days/weeks I have just got over pleurisy and Doctor thought with that was making the pain worse and for me to go back if still the same but not sure about yourself but hate going back as if they donโ€™t believe me!! Iโ€™m on co codamol and naproxen but they are doin nothing for the pain sorry I goin on now lol sending you pain free hugs x x x x

Pleurisy can give you a tremendous amount of pain around the back and rib area. I think you will find any infection unfortunately aggravates fibro. If the pain is different from your fibro pain I would certainly go back but like you if I never saw another doctor again it would be too soon, lol. I'm wondering whether you have ever tried Gabapentin or Pregablin as they can help with the neuropathic type of pain that many of us fibromites get? Hope you will be feelings but better soon.x

Welcome to our lovely friendly group rachel36. I'm so sorry that you're in pain Hun. Yes I definitely agree that it would be lovely to crawl out of my body due to the pain. I agree with maureenclayton, you definitely need to see your gp so you can sort out your pain relief. I hope you get some relief soon hunny. Take care and stay wrapped up warm and sending you lots of gentle hugs xx

You're definitely not alone Hun. I'm in a lot of pain. I'm still recovering from my grandson's naming ceremony on Saturday. It was only on for approximately 3-4 hours but just getting ready for it, the very slow walking around and then recovering from it for the rest of the day really took it out of me. It didn't help that I hadn't slept the night before. I took a sleeping pill last night so today I'm in pain and quite drowsy, so it's taking me forever to read through this site, in between dozing off etc. It's such hard work!!!!!! So like you I won't be doing much partly because my body isn't letting me lol ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿ˜ฌxx

โ€ข in reply toMiss68

O no Iโ€™m sorry to here your not that good either hope you have managed to get some sleep Hun ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜” x x

Sounds like we're typical women then lol. I'm a registered health professional so I know what a demanding and stressful job you've got. Especially if it's shift work too. I'm glad you're going to make a sensible decision about going back Hun. Thank you for my gentle hugs and I send gentle hugs back to you too xx

You're very welcomehunny. You've made me smile too. Sometimes you can't talk to your own family about your health as you don't want to burden them. It's nice to find similar minded people on this site ๐Ÿ˜Š Xx

โ€ข in reply toMiss68

I definitely agree Hun I feel like they think Iโ€™m moaning all the time Iโ€™m sure they donโ€™t but lol Iโ€™m off slowly to run a nice hot bath then more tablets then back in bed hopefully drop off to sleep thank you again Hun sending good nite gentle hugs ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค— x x x x
