    Oh it is wretched. I get that deep aching and so painful whereby it feels like it is coming from the bones and it gets really intense and it’s so damn painful..what a struggle just to get through the day.. sorry to hear all that I really empathise with how you’re feeling!

    Muscle Twitching

    I suffer with FM and like you never had it before and my thumb started twitching and took on a life of its own it hurt a bit and lasted throughout the night. I spoke to doctor who ordered blood tests and my iron came back really low level 5. I’ve been out on iron tablets but no one has spoken...

    Medication question

    Oh honestly I feel for you with the brain zaps thing as I had those a long long time ago and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so bad not including the Fibro as this is by far the worst. It’s very difficult to describe brain zaps to anyone especially trying to describe the sound that you get in your...

    Recent Diagnosis - am I going mad?

    Oh my gosh I empathise with you so much sounds horrendous.. life should not be a struggle the way it sounds for you and I would imagine judging how it is for me it must be far far worse for you in the way of always having to think about what you’re doing even before you do it.. if you’re asked...

    Recent Diagnosis - am I going mad?

    I too get a horrible aching in the bottom of my back which at times can be so sharp, this seems to cause the feeling of warmth underneath my foot. Sometimes the aching gets so bad it makes me feel nauseous and I can’t stand for too long. I normally put hot water bottle on it which sloths it a...

    Overdoing things

    Oh how I love the Fibro fog..I left my petrol cap at the garage the other week..and I came out of supermarket and for the love of god couldn’t remember where I parked my car then I proceeded to try and open the door of a car that looked like mine, then I peered in the window and realised it...

    Overdoing things

    Gosh thank you so much for such an informative and helpful reply. You wrote that so well and your analogy makes so much h sense I guess it’s to do with timing. It is difficult when one day you can do it for day 40mins and on another day only 30mins so then you don’t know how much you can do as...

    Overdoing things

    Thank you for the reply! It’s hard to know how far you can go as you may not feel the pain whilst doing things and it may not hit until later on and it’s trying to workout which activity you did that caused it and pushed you over the edge. It’s a very strange condition that’s for sure Sounds...

    Overdoing things

    I’m not sure if I’m making any sense but what constitutes overdoing things. I only ask because even though it’s an individual thing I’m stuck with the whole thing. I’ve had a really bad flare up and I keep wondering what was it that I overdid. For example if you hoover pop to the shops take the...

    Just having a bad day, for the last 4 months....

    I’m not sure where you are from but I ended up giving my job in but that was also partly due my employers making it difficult for me and telling me I’d had more time off sick than anyone and eventually made it uncomfortable for me but I get help and also recently awarded LCWRA which is Limited...

    Change of medication, coming off Gabapentin

    Thank you for your reply it was really insightful and you have a positive outlook about it. I’m still in the acceptance stage but I do meditation every night and I’m surprised how helps the pain slightly and calms my mind. I’m learning to not keep looking back at all I could do as that just...

    Change of medication, coming off Gabapentin

    I’m so glad you mentioned Yin Yoga as that was recommended to me also. What type of yoga have you been doing? You seem very active which is great considering. I do dog walking and exercises with the Pain Management Clinic but that’s just a 6wk stint. Thank you for replying I really appreciate it
