Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi Kristi, When my was first told I had FM it took them 3 months to tell me. I started with chest pain and was checked for a heart attack. The pain kept getting worse as the time went on. It progressed rapidly. I went from simple chest pans to not being able to move in a matter of weeks. By the time they gave me some decent meds I could feel it going down my legs. It was horrible. I'm doing a lot better now that I've got proper meds and I'm on the Cpac for sleep apnea. I think that has helped me a lot. I don't know why they think it can't get worse. A flare up can include new spots for me. A flare up is also almost paralizing. I can hardly move. Everyone is different though. Good luck, Jan > > Good Morning Everyone, > I have a question...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi Kristi, I forgot to mention that when I was in full blown pain. I could only sit and sleep in a recliner. To lay flat hurt way too much. I had to hold super still till they found out what was wrong. It hurt that much. No, the docs don't know everything.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi Jan, Oh my gosh... Lately, I've been getting up during the night, hurting. My hands and body are so stiff. I probably look like a mummy walking. I'm finding out that we know more than the doctor's do, no wonder my rheumatologist tells me, " Whatever you think, Kristi. " . Heck, I don't know what to think, I just want relief!!! Oh well. Belonging to this group is one of the best things I could have ever done. It's nice to know that we're not alone. Gentle Hugs, Kristi > > > > oHMYGOSH--Chest pains..heart attack symptoms..God Bless You and what > > you went through! > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
