Re: Fwd: Re: Rice Crispy Neck

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane,

I don't think I've ever heard it put that way before, but I have the same

thing. Not all the time, but a lot of the time. I try to tell my doctor that

is sounds like snaps and crackles, but I forgot about the pop. Never related it

to rice crispies, but that is the perfect description. I have a pretty good

range of motion at least, but it hurts if I go too far, like when I'm looking

backward to back the car up.

I've also had the bad chest pains. Mine are just below the breast bone and

then continue down the side of my abdomen. I've been to the emergency room it

has been so bad.

Thankfully I don't have a sensation of walking on glass, but if I don't wear

just the right shoes my hips hurt terribly. My left hip hurts anyway. My hands

and particularly my feet have spasms and cramps that come out of nowhere. I do

have involuntary shakes too.

Aren't you glad to hear all of this. I guess it might be good to know you are

not alone, but I guess they are symptoms of fibromyalgia, although who knows

anymore.

ttfn, Marti
