Hi Debbie 1966 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 18 years ago once the temperature starts to drop in the evening my hands and feet get cold and I wear socks but as they don't turn a different colour ie white or blue I have always associated this with the fibro I have a snuggle blanket with arms for watching TV
Hi Debbie I have had burning for the past 2 weeks in my legs, thats the longest Ive ever had a symptom last for?. my feet are constantly cold my hands vary from day today from warm to cold. My body temperature last week went hay wire from hot 1 min to ice cold the next with gas fire on and wrapped in a blanket.? the symptom your having could be a flare up due to you over doing it yesterday. fibro likes to bite back when weve over done it. but also likes to spring different symptoms on us. the burning sensation was a new one with me. how long symptoms last vary unfortunatly we have no control on that or the symptoms.take care gentle hugs just go with the flow not pleasent I know.
Thank u kaz I have had the burning regular but the cold hands n feet were a new one my temperature does that as well we just don't know what to expect next from this condition it certainly keeps us guessing hate flare ups as means time off work which I can't afford to have as my employer is not very sympathetic.
Years ago , I use to have cold hands at night that becam so painful . At the time I thought it was because a new blood pressure medicine. When I told the dr, all he said was that I corpal tunnel in one of the two hands although both hands had the same systems. Never the feet.
What a day. Has anyone tried pre gablin? It was recommended by someone I know for my neck pain. At first it was great 3weeks on. I have been crying,shouting euphoric then exhausted.agitated irritable hot,cold even had weird negative thinking. I will have to reduce it as you can't just stop it. So I've taken one instead of 2 tabs and will take usual 2 tonight. I'm going to go back to using the tens machine, amitryptiline and may even have to resort to the odd dreaded tramadol. It's difficult to pace with fibromyalgia even though it's the only way to manage it. Good luck Debbie. X
Hi magrid I tried this but was allergic to it the same with amatripiline and tramadol I was put on maloxiam last week and had a reaction to it but I think u should go bk to doctor n get his advise on reducing the dose I am left with naproxen as that is all my body will tolerate which doesn't help much but waiting to go to pain management clinic hope u feel better soon gentle hugs xx xx
Hi Debbie I can't take naproxen due to having a hiatus hernia. I went to pain clinic where consultant prescribed Pregablin. I am on wait list for acupuncture. I find the Athens machine eases the pain a little sometimes. Good luck I hope you find the right medication.
