Too much to bear!!!!

Hi guys. So got to see my gp she has referred me for more MRI scans but it's going to be a few weeks. It's always a waiting game with this fibro, for appointments, to see what new pain comes and how bad. Anyway I've been in sooo much pain the last few weeks, I dont know if it's the cold weather. I do know we feel the cold a lot more than non sufferers. I keep as warm as possible but then I get too hot and the heat aggravates my legs so then have to switch to the ice packs, which do help, if only for a short time. The pains just wont let up. I have warm baths with Epsom salts etc but 10 mins after getting in my legs are kicking off. The creams I bought from H+B last week did take the edge off but now nothing. I was trying to think of what else I could try....bought a bag of magnesium salts to soak my feet in yesterday and for the 30 mins I had them soaking they felt lovely. Hour later I'm in agony again!!!!!

I've noticed the last few weeks something else,,,my stomach starts to spasm just before the pains start. Can anyone relate??

I'm getting tit bits of sleep, everytime I lie down the legs are off. Tonight though my arms suddenly went insane, I genuinely felt as if I was having some kind of seizure!!!!! I then start thinking back through my day and what I did for that to happen but i did nothing out of the ordinary. Just cant get a break from this and I'm at my wits end. Just typing this now and my legs are starting!!!!!

Sorry to go on xxx

Love and gentle hugs to all xxx

Morning I can see you are doing things to try and relieve the pain even if it’s giving you temporary relief keep it up , I do agree the Epsom salts baths and pain relief creams do help take the edge off for awhile, this cold weather differently does not agree with me and not wanting to be outside for very long ie shopping trips in car etc . Home is differently my comfort place this time of year, roll on Spring I say. Take care

I had an MRI scan the end of last year,where if was discovered that I had a birth defect in my neck. I'm nearly 60!!!

May sue the midwife??? Claim/blame and all that nonsense😜

I have restless legs,and suddenly just for fun my arms went too. If anything I found the arms worse. I was walking round the lounge,swinging them round and round-horrid desperate feeling. Lucky no one saw me,must have looked weird. I do have good nights though. Pramipexole have been good for me. Ask your GP.

Have you ever thought about one of those electric foot massagers. Helps a bit with the legs before bedtime. Good luck with everything sweetheart.

Oh my God my arms have been going crazy the last few nights. I was thinking what have I been doing during the day to bring it on but I've done nothing out of the ordinary. So here's to another symptom to add to the ongoing list!!!!!!

I will look into that Pramipexole.

Merry Christmas to you lovely xxx
