Hi Samantha, when my symptoms are bad I find that my balance and walking in general is severely affected. Xxz

Hi there perhaps when you’ve rested and feeling up to it make an appointment with gp and get checked for a piece of mind, I do find my balance is off now and I bang into things miss judging and end up with some bruises normally at thigh level , something I’ve found since being diagnosed with fibro never did it before , but just to be safe get checked and hope you start to feel better in a couple of days, it’s hard when we have these feeling poorly days take care xxxxx

With FM flare up you generally are unable to do very much. Make sure you rest up. Also if you have a virus I have been told with FM it will effect you worse than someone without FM so bear that in mind. I’m battling a virus at the moment and it’s horrendous, so bad the dr actually thought I might of had meningitis, luckily not. Sending gentle hugs 🤗

Thank you

Absolutely have leg problems all the time. I never walk normally anymore but sometimes the pain and also weakness really slows me down to barely able to walk at all. If I'm really lucky I can walk 1 block but most of the time I can't. oooxxx

[Samanthakirk in reply to WorldOHurt]

Thank you

[jimborck]

has your gp ever got you seen by rhumetology?

[Samanthakirk in reply to jimborck]

No only see neurologist

[MariLiz]

Could be worth getting your GP to check B12, ferritin, folate and VitD levels. If these are low it can make walking and balance issues worse,

[Skylane2]

Check all side effects of your meds. Sometimes the cure does more damage that the disease

[Samanthakirk in reply to Skylane2]

Thank you

[Samanthakirk]

Thank you l only take amitriptyline

[Skylane2 in reply to Samanthakirk]

Amitriptyline has such terrible side effects the AMA in the US has banned it in the brand form “Elavil” I get severe pain when I take it. Can you get Skelaxin there? The Generic is metaxalone

[Samanthakirk in reply to Skylane2]

I dont know l will look into it thanks

[Samanthakirk]

Thank you
