Hi there Margaret, My wife & I have just recently moved to Leeds & I have OA with what I can only describe as a feeling as though there's something crawling up my arms,Legs and spine, which is sometimes I'm told similar to Restless legs syndrome and is a side effect of OA. I have many sleepless nights pacing and rocking about then take an extra dose of Painkiller wait about 20 mins & then I tend to flake out completely exhausted. It's a nightmare that Dr's are trying to combat by uping my dose of Gabapentin but as yet it's not working. Keep going back until they find a satisfactory answer
Hi Stephen , thank you for your reply sorry to be a bit thick but what is OA please, i had to see my doctor for a check up and she said i had acute urticaria, i have been on tablets for 2 days and have noticed the odd feeling is not quite as severe, now i dont know if it is connected to urticaria, but i am keeping a diary so next time i see her i can let her know whats happened, i did see a different doctor this time , as when i saw the other doctor i must have told her 5 times about it she just said we will see how things are next time,
urticaria margaret what is that, i must be as thick as you lol
well this is what i was to understand ericaria is(but i am sure somebody will correct me if i am wrong)
i get a rash sometimes it is a raised blob, or looks like weals, and its because i have high levels of histamine caused by either food or medication that reacts with my body. Many moons ago my whole body was covered like this , and after tests it was found i was elergic to asprin, so i cannot have that now, i was really.
the doctor asked me to keep a food diary so when i see her next we can discuss it, hope this helps Pauline. hope you are well
Hi Margaret, OA is short for Osteo Arthriris as for your Ericaria, have the doctors prescribed Antihistamines to counter the histamine build up?
yes, but as i am writing this i have got all the cold feeling again, and had a few pains in head and neck, it never ends.
