Re: Bone Pains... Suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Make sure you stay well hydrated. I'm having that today myself. I'm hurting

terribly from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. I'm forcing water

down--it usually helps.

Actually this is good advice for everyone. Stay well dehydrated BUT do NOT

drink large amounts of water at a time. For one thing it stresses out the

kidneys too much.

Jennie,

Thank you for the hydration hint on bone pain. I have this all the time. I

try to drink water, but sometimes I don't drink enough. Great reminder.

Mardi, if you believe it is actual bone pain.... the only thing that helps that

is Ibuprofen. I know this only because I use to be a hospice nurse and that is

what I was taught. Patients who had cancer which spread to the bones were told

that Ibuprofen was the only thing that helps with that. I really don't know

why. You might try it.

My sister and I both have FMS, though she was diagnosed six years ago.

Since it turned cold & rainy here in SC I have noticed my bones aching

unmercifully! She says it happens to her, but so rarely it doesn't

phase her. This has been an on-going problem for me for years

(apparently I've had FMS for ages & looking over the " early onset "

posts maybe even since childhood!) and I have yet to find ANYthing to

really relieve the pain. I'm on Cymbalta which eases the daily aches &

even helps me sleep. However, when I get stressed or the weather

changes the FMS flares & I just can't manage the pains. It's not

really joint or muscular, but the actual bones. Any suggestions?

Thanks, y'all!

Love from Mardi
