Hi Shaz

have you had a referal to orthopeadics ? i had a fantastic consultant ( now retired ) who did what he could and then refered me on to my Rheumatologist

what meds are you on ?

Do you have anything to help you to sleep ?

i have had muscle relaxants in the past which unfortunately didn't help me either

take care J

Morning Shaz

How excruciating for you I hope you have managed a better night or are you like me releaved when it is time to get up because when I am up I can have my pills . I find gentle rocking helps and I put my hands in warm water for a bit in the morning to try a loosen them up.

You do need to get to a rheumatologist and you will get some help that way ask your GP for referral asap. good luck xgins

Hi Shaz,

Has your doctor arranged a full set of blood tests for you?

If not, you need to ask him about this. Once they have excluded everything else, and confirmed that you have fibromyalgia, then you're in the same boat as all of us - we learn to cope, and we get our medicines right through trial and error, but you do need to have tests to exclude any other problems, like rheumatoid arthritis for instance.

I do hope you feel easier soon!

I was diagnosed with fibro in 2007 but these pains im havin is like nothing that i has experienced before they r so sharp and severe i end up screeching my eyes out and im not one who cries alot and hav a high tolerance to pain why do they always put it down to fibro i no in my heart there is something not right with my body but everytime i c a gp they say its your fibro lk they really cant be bothered with helping me lv them just to have all this pain just for a day soz for moaning abt it but im sick of being fobbed off my son wants to go c the doc but i wont let him cos he wuld lose his rag with them
