So i had my blood tesults back from the arthritus tests and all is fine so what the hell is it.
I have never felt so ill and ive been like this since 29th Dec! 1 doc has said its anxiety but do u really feel this bad all day everyday? I thought it was more attacks?
For 2 months now ive had muscle pain in most my muscles i have joint aches in every joint, i have chest pains tgat radiate to my back and shoulder bladr and now up my neck, i feel sick all day and lightheaded. I have had CBT which was pointless
I jut cant convince myself this is anxiety i feel so poorly, back at docs at 5.30 but i really dont no what else they can do. Im so worried
anyone else been through this? X
Do you get sharp finger pain too ? Iv been getting horrible pains in my fingers arm chest top of leg everywhere and I started wondering if I had arthritis I suppose it can only be "anxiety " to a doctor but I know how you feel I get pains breathing problems/sensations all day long I have been told anxoety xx
Yea i do hun, i cant open bottles or jars without pain i have no myscle or joint strength at all. I just feel poorly everyday, i cant stand it xxx
Hi Clare
I also had bloods done for arthritis and pain and mine all came back fine..
I'm the same as you not convinced it's anxiety..
I'm having a really bad day today headaches twitches and shooting pains..
I feel like this is never going to end 😞
I hope you get somewhere at the docs today x
Im having a bad day today too feel awful, so lightheaded and everything hurts its like flu everyday its do hard with2 babies xxx
Same !! I get it for no reason aswell which is the most annoying if I hit my fingers or anything it hurts 10 worse then it should iv actually lost all the muscle in my arms and legs there just really thin now which been told anxiety can make you lose weight but I feel so weak and ill I feel like a 80 year old I have two children to be looking after and it's hard I can't hold my son without my arms and fingers hurting or my wrists xx
Aww Clare I know it's really difficult I've got 3 children too. it's really hard when all you can think of is This... It's hard to focus on anything esle xx
Yea I'm exactly he same even feeding my daughter my arms and hands go dead. I dont understand how it can be anxiety xx
It really is, how do u control it? My husbands fed up of me and tbh im fed up of me. I feel like im dying its awful but nothing i do or no matter what i try and tell myself none of it goes away. Xx
My husbands the same.. He keeps saying he doesn't no what to say to me and he feels helpless.. My kids are also suffering because I dont want to do anything with them..this is actually taking over my life! And I don't know how much more I can take of this! Xx
No me neither hun thats exactly what im going to tell the doc later. They put me on citalopan but i had horrendous side effects i couldnt cope so im not taking them anymore. Iv had therapy and thought it was a load of rubbish im going to take my husband with me this time so we can stress how bad it is before i loose my marriage as well as my mind/life.
Hope u feel better soon hunni xxx
😔
Thanks Clare.. you take care to.
and keep us updated on how you get on love x
Well I don't know what it is I also have muscle tremors really bad as well I can't get my head around what's going on I don't feel my self at least hope you get better soon xx
Hi to all you ladies...I am sorry that you are suffering so much....I was exactly the same as you and also constantly exhausted also....
My doctor was wonderful, I had very many blood tests and x rays ect..
Eventually my GP sent me to see a RHEUMATOLOGIST.....
He was excellent, he examined me, and within ten minutes he had diagnosed me with FIBROMYALGIA... also known ( often as ) -CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME...OR...M E...
he arranged for me to have physio... and I was already on the medication he would have put me on...as I suffer from degenerative arthritis of the lower spine...
The medication is ...ANTIDEPRESSANTS...PREGABALIN....TRAMADOL...
I have been on this medication for quite some time....but the sheer relief
Of having it confirmed that I had a medical problem was totally wonderful.....of course I know that it will never go, but at least I can try to fight against it now I know...I have joined a self help group..I am not ALWAYS positive..but at least I can say to others .. yes !! I do really have a health problem....I hope that this may help you in some way, as I remember how awful it was to feel at my wits end....
I wish you all well, never give up,...take care all..DEIRDRE xxx
Thanks Deirdre, how funny ive just been looking this up online as someone else mentioned it to me. Im constantly exhausted too, all my muscles and joints hurt my chest back neck and shoulders being the worst. I feel light headed and fuzzy headed and nausious every day. Does this sound familiar? Im also told it could be anxiety, i feel so poorly with it i find it hard to beleive its anxiety. Its a bit like flu all the time xxx
Oh how great !! Well not but I have looked into this so many times I'm going to doctors tommorow so I will mention it xx
Hi.. yes I am very sure that it could well indeed be fibromyalgia....you have every !! Single symptom...especially the painful muscles and the utter exhaustion...ask you GP to refer you to a rheumatologist, they can diagnose it while you are there....they test for TENDER SPOTS ON THE BODY...on the neck, shoulders and lower back in particular...also they check for stiffness of the neck and other joints...depression is also an indicative symptom as are sleep problems...I was so relieved to be diagnosed with something, because you look well....I found the pain and the exhaustion was almost impossible to cope with after a period of time....I would advise you to see your GP as soon as you can....I wish you MUCH luck,, take care, warmest regards to you
..DEIRDRE xx
