hello i am back for some support, i tried new meds. this past 2 months and had side effects. i am off all meds now except tylenol arthritis. i have been seeing a neurologist since november 2012....i started using a walker this time last year. is anyone using a walker?
my left knee is giving out again... and 2 years ago this led to my right foot dragging ! all kinds of twitches, aches and pains like you all know...i just want reasurrance from everyone that i am not the only one who can hardly walk with fibromyalgia...much love and pain free days to everyone !
Hi terig, boy your not alone. Whoever said Fibro doesn't progress is so wrong. I have had two left knee replacements. They can find nothing wrong, the pain has never gone away due to what I believe is the fibro. I also have neropathic nerve pain which the fibro makes so much worse. Nights are bad aren't they. I walk with a cane due to overall pain. I have had fibro for 17 years. I don't know you, but your not alone. If they. could find a cure
Hi Terig,
I too have Fibro and Chronic fatigue, and medications give side effects that increase symptoms.
Sorry to hear of your health problems, not easy to manage day to day.
But i read your post and wanted to reply.
If medications don't work what can we do.
Now i know it's maybe not for everyone, but MEDITATION instead of medication helps me.
A non religious local shared meditation group can give relaxation or try this book,
How meditation heals by Eric Harrison.
I find it useful, the whole book is about pain and health management.
If that's not for you, i sincerely wish you well and thank you for your post.
Just came across your post - Yes I am using a rollator now - a year ago I was mobile and driving - now I am using a rollator and it makes me very self conscious when I am out as I am only 66. but at least I dont worry about falling over. I have peripheral neuropathy, CFS, and pseudogout all of which give me pain in my legs, twitches, shooting pains and in January I was in hospital for a week with severe continuous hip pain - they could not find anything as to what was causing it and the pain meds gave me severe constipation and vomiting blood!! so helpful. I also get pain in my back, shoulder blades,etc and chronic SOB - so join the old crocks like me!!! seriously I do hope you have some pain free days and all the best from me.
