My aunt. She has a lot of pain. Some is caused by her spine, and they say they can’t operate to fix it. She has tried the spinal thing when they put medicine in your spine. She tried it twice, both horrible experiences. She’s addicted to big time pain killers and drugs like Xanax and a muscle relaxer here and there. Relatives question whether all those meds just made it all worse over time. Her muscles hurt all the time. She is disabled now, but has more than just the FM that she deals with.
I was diagnosed with FM years ago, but I don’t believe I had, or have it.
I can tell you my symptoms and what helped a lot if you want. I don’t want to clutter your Q if you prefer I don’t go into it in detail. The basics are my muscles weakened very quickly from use, I would even get very shaky like Parkinson’s, and I had severe cramping at times, especially in my calf muscles and biceps, but I truly had trouble with all of my muscles. The biggest help with testing my vitamin D level and getting my number above 40. Hands down huge huge improvement.
