Is there some numbness too? I've experience something very similar and it moved up my feet to above my ankles. I've found Hydrocodone eases the symptoms by about 50-80% and zolpidem by 100%.. Good luck

Hi , I'm in Sacramento , California! I'm with ya on everything. I always overdo it on a day i feel better.i will start thinking to myself that mabye its over.mabye I'm finally in remission. But then my body shuts down on me and reality hits hard. ...

I agree with Mary, thought possible adrenal and thyroid issues from the start. It can take a lifetime for anything to start showing in your bloods. I can relate to a couple of things you've listed which started in my 20s - and it was also when I ...

Well as soon as I started to read this what jumped out at me was perhaps a fast Thyroid coupled with adrenal issues. Also gluten intolerance may not help either. Also if you have been to see who I think you have, he is excellent... and perhaps ...

I was just wondering whether if I posted a fairly detailed history of my case, symptoms and test results would you be able to offer any ideas about whether it might be Lupus or Lupus related/autoimmune? Or just any ideas at all really? The ...

I wouldn't want to be taking Naproxen with stomach issues! (Just my penny's worth, plus I was told expressly not to take this sort of painkiller with the acid reflux I get.) I don't understand some GPs some times

Hi This needs more info I'm afraid. Do you have a cough. Is it productive? When you cough, when do you cough day,night or during exercise? Since you have seen a Gp I'm sure they have asked these questions and they always ask if you smoke or if you...

Hi tallytutu, I found aza to be a good drug for me and tolerated it well for 2 years. I can't remember anything specific when I first started it, maybe upset tummy, but nothing too bad. You have to have regular bloods. Every week at first, then ...

Hi I don't have sjorgons as far as I know. But I do get a sore tongue. In fact I have had a crack down the centre of my tongue for a few years. It also feels swollen and sore with ulcers. I notice you where concerned re oral candida. Some times ...

Hi bodyache, can't believe your GP. !!!!! Just ask to see a rheumy. The damage untreated lupus can cause, is worse than, 'hardcore drugs'. Plain and simple. Hydroxy chloroquine is a mostly safe drug, and is prescribed to all lupus patients. Most ...

Snap, I USED to be a sunworshiper I used to just look at the sun and I got a tan, I havent been abroad for 10 years now I think the insurance would be expensive as well as sun to strong, but it would be nice to sunbathe just to feel the warmth ...

Hi gco34, I have the same problem! Only sat in garden for 5 maybe 10 minutes having natter with my daughter looked like i'd got 3rd degree burns by the time went in! I agree it is so horrible I love the sun and usually holiday in Florida, but ...

Hi 2dogs, Thank you for that , not only has it been helpful for me but my sister in law's struggling with arthritis and allergic to tramadol so I shall inform her of this drug too. I don't think us lupies will ever hear the words "I promise you ...
