Guest guest Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 My pain is much reduced but it is in the background and that drives me nuts. Yes, I have had fibromyagia for many years. Actually, most of the time I have less symptoms than I have had for a very long time--even before I got the implants. I was diagnosed with fms when I was 30 and got implants when I was 36. Then I really went down hill and just thought it was the fms getting worse. But then 4 years ago I got a multitude of terrible symptoms in a period of weeks and that is when I got really sick. I have had the implants out 3 years and most of the weird new symptoms are gone (some come back briefly now and then) The reason for my pain and fatigue is the constant muscle spasms I have been having. It is my legs that hurt and my upper arms and it is definitely due to muscle twitching. I think they are herx related but I never quite find the way to get them behind me for good. But I am sure I will. Like you said, God is good and I trust Him.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Kathy, sorry you are in pain, I know how flares can really put a dent in your sail for awhile affecting all areas of your life, especially sleep. Or extra curricular activites to a routine schedule can put you in one. Rest seems to be the best way to get one calmed down if you can get restorative sleep. I take a sleeping pill and a valerine. that works for me. Before that, I was always short of sleep. I know you're working hard on your detox program and it will pay off. You are an encouragement to us all. I hope you will find the right balance and Spring will bring new opportunities for you. I hope you will be able to walk and limber up a bit. Just hope you're feeling better each day.
