wrists

I have a question of those of you who have FM. does anyone have problems lifting things. I find that lifting a carton of milk or something with even a small amount of weight in it feels like I am lifting a ton of weight. Also dropping things because I can't seem to hang on to it propery.

Went to the doctor with a long list of pain- arms, shoulders, elbows, wrists, swelling in hands and feet, cold hands- always, daily migraines, severe jaw pain, inability to lose weight, thought I had dementia, never feel rested...the list goes on and on. Have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism...

Apparently this is where I post first, to say hello. Sorry for the long post. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few weeks ago, but have no doubt that I have had it for years, as I have had chronic pain and other symptoms for a long time. The GP was finally willing to send me to some...

They always say the Eskimo/Inuit have X number of words for snow...I think we should have a bunch of words for pain. There's that burning pain, tingling pain, dull ache, needles in my joints pain, seizing pain, muscle spasmy pain, hit by a truck pain (a morning favorite). There's also one I...

Hello! I'm a mama of 3 kids who i adore and live for! I found my way here by searching 'sick of being in pain all the time'. I haven't been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but there isn't any other explanation to the pain I've been experiencing my entire life. Its getting worse as i get older and...

I am currently on ampitryptiline for pain and sleep - helps me get back to sleep when I do wake up and seems to quiet those tingling sensations. Like many of us I do not want to medicate because of nasty side effects...but I am looking for some help with pain. I am seeing my GP on...

Am feeling so lonely. I keep trying to do things and my body fails me every time with minor tasks. Today I managed to just walk outside and snip a few tiny dead stems off a plant. Yesterday all i did was change my bed sheets and duvet cover. The day before all i did was clean the hob and oven...
