Bad Night

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

There have been some bad nights for me but last night was not only

uncomfortable but 'strange'. After going to bed about 10 pm,

I awoke after midnight hurting and trembling all over and got

up to spend the next couple hours in a recliner with a heating

pad. Then I went to a spare bedroom to sleep in spurts

until just after 6 am. Is this trembling common with fibro?

There just doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there on fibro,

although I've read of cases that become severe enough to disable.

I don't know what to make of this. I did have a miserable day

yesterday with either a spring cold or allergy; itching eyes,

sneezing and a runny nose for which I took the recommended

remedy. And there was a big change in the weather with the

temp dropping about 40 degrees.

Any ideas to share?

Thanks,

Moderator note: sounds like a recipe for a flare of something -- weather

changes, colds, etc. -- could be fibro, could be arthur. I've never

experienced the trembling that you're talking about, at least not that I recall,

but I'd think trembling of muscles wouldn't be out of the ordinary with fibro,

given what fibro is.

Have you ever looked at the newsgroup alt.med.fibromyalgia? Maybe if you did a

power search of that newsgroup at deja.com you might find some instances where

people experienced the trembling you have. If you need more information about

newsgroups and searching at deja, let me know offlist. If that doesn't work, a

I'd put a call into your fibro doc, if only to ease your mind about it.
