Fibromyalgia is one of the strangest disorders..disease...whatever it is.
I was diagnosed in late 2011 due to chronic stress. Since then, I have endure the most bizarre symptoms. I have the typical pain points, but the main place I feel pain is in my hands. Sometimes my shoulders, but always, always my hands. In my fingers, down in the joints. When it's in my shoulders, just the act of holding my head up is too much, and I have to lie down.
And my body temperature! Seriously - my skin turns beet red for no reason at all, and it is blazing hot to the touch. My hands, again, mostly, but also my face and neck. I have to put ice to my skin when it gets like this because it is so terribly uncomfortable.
My doctor gave me Savella, which works fairly well but it makes my stomach sick if I take the full prescribed amount. I took hemp seeds for awhile, and that helped some, too.
Anyone else dealing with this? It can be utterly miserable...
