Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 , Exactly. I feel like my arms and legs are always bruised. I've recently become interested in home remedies and such... acupressure, yoga, hot baths, detoxification of muscles...herbs, cleansing veggie juices etc...lots of stuff to look into. A lot of people around me have no idea what I'm talking about when I mention my hypersensitive muscles and how they feel bruised and very tender all the time. So I'm glad I found this group! P.S. No I don't live in Chicago. I'm in upstate NY. > Dear Cristin, Yes, I have the same problem. Someone can barely touch me in the arm, and it will hurt badly for like 5 minutes. Often it feels like it might be burised, or like when you push on a black and blue mark, but there is nothing there. I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone! > > Also, I was wondering if anyone lived on the south side of Chicago. I'd like to find a group to meet with in person. Additionally, I'm wondering if anyone has a good doctor at the University of Chicago. I live in Hyde Park by the University, and I could really use some help figuring out things like diet and excerise. I just don't seem to have the enery and stregnth I need to make the necessary changes on my own, and could really use some support. While my boyfriend () is amazingly accepting and supportive of this stuggle -- no one else in my life is very helpful. My family usually thinks I'm whining or being too sensitive, and no one at school wants to hear about it. I almost feel like I have to talk to the senior citizens at church to find anyone with compassion for the pain. > > Sorry to be rambling, its late, and I've taken my 10mg of amitriptyline so that my body won't hurt too badly tomorrow. > > Anyone know of any good doctors, physical therapists, nurtitionists, other supportive professionals, or a support group in Hyde Park in Chicago? I am a full time grad student, and also have a limited income, so any resouces would be appricitated. > > Thanks for listening and for being here! > > under God's love, > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
