Sudden progressive worsening symptoms.

[1Hope]

Hi, I was diagnosed just over 13 yrs ago. Symptoms came on suddenly and progressed quickly. Don't have all symptoms some others do. Pain has been mostly manageable but cannot work. Rather, always pain present, but accept it, rest often.

Just recently, around 1-1.5 months, started with constant aching in feet and toes, RLS got worse, then whole body symptoms worsened, feel the way I used to feel after a

long day but as soon as I get up.

Have had flare-ups before which pass after a day of complete rest and taking pain killers every four hours. Never had one like this.

Can anyone tell me if this may be a long term increase in pain and fatigue or a passing phase?

Have read of some Fibromites being told they have Plantar Fasciaitis (wrong spelling, I know) but do not feel this is right. Not if the bodily pain is taken into account.

Have only just joined you on this site. It's good to talk with others, so looking forward to hearing from any one.

Hi 1Hope

I am so sorry to read that you are suffering in this way and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this problem.

As I am not a doctor I cannot really say for sure what the problem really is? It could be a very bad Fibro flare or something else? I personally would discuss this issue with your GP, as to rule out anything else and also to keep your GP up to date with how you are getting on?

I want to wish you all the best with this.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi welcome to the site I am sure you will find everyone very friendly and helpful.

As your symptoms seem to have worsened very rapidly and don;t seem to be reponding to your usual treatments it might be worth at least having a word with the doctor. I have similar symptoms in my feet and toes and I have a form of Raynaud's. Also when the doctor did some blood tests after I complained of these symptoms he found I had the indications for gout in the results but he decided not to treat me for that unless the symptoms because unbearable as I am on such alot of medication for other illnesses as well as the fibro.

Hope this is just one of those things but if it doesn;t pas soon please contact your GP and keep us updated on how you are. Kind thoughtsx

Hi it would pay to talk to your doctor about inflammation levels as I had fibro for many years then got RA, just a thought.

Hi 1Hope,

I was wondering if you have any other health conditions as well as the Fibro?

If not, It's possible that you've developed something new that may not actually be directly connected to the Fibro. It definitely sounds like a progression of your Fibro and possibly may require a review of your current meds as I'm convinced that after a while, the meds stop working as effectively as they did at the start and we have to begin the whole process again of experimenting with other new meds to find the right fit.

Do consult your GP and be as assertive as you can so that they don't just chalk it up to Fibro without undertaking any proper checks or review of your meds.

Wishing you better health and coping skills.

I have feet trouble to. My feet used to be wide and thick but now they are thin and narrow. I have no fat to cushion my feet so if I'm on them for awhile they hurt, burn, and just plain kill me. Does this help?
