Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi! I was talking to my husband about all of this new information and we discussed an episode I had back in November. I woke up one day vomitting with a fever, which is something I never get! Within about four hours my entire body began to ache. It started in my feet and literally went up my body. It got so bad it hurt to breathe! I couldn't move my hands, I couldn't walk and literally the motion of breathing hurt terribly. It lasted about 24 hours and then SLOWLY over the next week the pain went away. My hands took the longest to feel better. THEN not even two weeks later the same thing happend again. It started with vomitting and within four hours the pain began. This time though the worst of it only lasted about 12-16 hours and then it only took about four days for the pain to go away completely. When I called my family doctor convinced I was dying he said it sounded like a virus. Could it have been a flare? I never mentioned it to my Rheumatologist because at that ppoint she had said she didn't need/want to see me unless my husband and I decieded we wanted another baby. Should I tell her about it now? Thank you for all of the wonderful, encouraging messages! Today has been a better day. Bed time seems to get me for some reason though. I cannot sleep! I just lay in bed and THINK! Have a good night and a great day tomorrow! Nikki __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
