I am a 43 yo male who has been sick for about 5 years,my symptom range from headaches near the back of my skull it then runs down my neck[ some days my neck feels swollen these days my arms hurt badly} it radiates down my left arm with muscle spasms and cramps,my right arm it runs all the way down to my fingers,this arm has the most muscle lose and my elbow pops loud and sends pains up and down arm,my forearm is tight and is constantly in pain when you move it,I went from being able to lift 70lbs to about 8lbs in 8 months,both arms will go numb and occasionally get tingling in fingers,moving from there go down the spine and the pain starts in lower back and radiates thru hips,this area is very pain full and between back and hips it limits my walking distances because of pain moving from there down both legs the right one being the worst,my whole right side is smaller than left and have gaited walk,I walk with a cane now all my joints hrt everyday and I can't ride in a car for long distances or bumpy roads my feet and legs go numb and I have a tingling sensation running thru them as I am writing this,at night I have restless leg syndrome and sleep seems like a dream that I would like to experience, evey movement in bed seems to wake me because of the pain,after rest I wake up to the pain so I feel like I have been in a bad nightmare that hasn't ended,I am having cognitive problems,severe fatigue during daytime and blurry vision,I have not drove in 12 weeks and should have probably stopped long before that,I am experiencing cramps in my abdominal area and muscle spasms,I have tremors in my arms and neck that causes them to shake like Parkinson's, but that was ruled out,one of my doctors told me the fibro might have been triggered by some tramatic event but the only thing I have had done is an epidural spinal injection about 4 years ago that didn't go very well I have been recommended to go see a phycotherapist to help me cope with having to live this way,I am on a multitude ofpills everyday and have had to quit working because everyday is a new adve ture of what is going to hurt or wat is not going to work sometimes starring off into space because I cant get the brain to get onboard for the day,of late I have been depressed and that is something I try not to experience much-- Is there someone out there experiencing this same thing a d withll it ever bet better
