Our lives in a nutshell! :cry::laugh::laugh: I'm so sorry you've got these new pains to deal with. Having the pain in one knee was aggravating enough. I got given a fibro diagnosis a few years ago based on having all 18 tender spots, but as I was already taking two medications for other...

YES!!! :woot: This is what my knee and shin shooting pain is like. I have had to be in public a lot recently as my son is ill, and I exclaim loudly, then say, "Bad knee, sorry, sorry..." It's calmed down now, thankfully. I guess just a delightful random ME/fibro delight. But now my finger pads...

That's great. :hug: Right now, it's just my left shoulder blade. Grrrrr. WTF. Stop IT! Could be worse. Could be somewhere embarrassing to scratch. :yawn:

@alktipping Bloody bodies! :mad: Sometimes I wish I was just a head, floating in a jar... o_O

Oh no, all over your body? Excruciating. I'm so glad it's not as bad now for you. Do you still get itching? The itching is constant, but the shooting pain is random. So I can't detect a connection. My friend checked me over closely and there's no hint of any insect bites. And I haven't...

I have a new symptom, and no idea what to make of it. I don't want to consult Dr Google and get riled up over what's probably a passing thing. I'll go to the doctor if it lasts, oh I suppose, a couple more weeks? A month? Two? Ugh, doctors. I keep getting a shooting pain down the front of my...

Great to know, thanks. I very much appreciate warnings about GI symptoms!

:hug:

Thanks @DokaGirl for all that information on glucosamine. I'll definitely look into it. My joints, and the bones above my ankles, are driving me up the wall.

Thanks @DokaGirl. I'll look at all that info about glucosamine. My joints are driving me up the wall. I really appreciate you taking the time to send me all the info. :hug:

Neuroinflammation?

:laugh: That is so SO true! I loathe Facebook #soblessed bollocks ;) But seriously, I think I'll get in touch with them and see if they're all actually OK, and not afflicted with anything like this.

But how is it transmitted? Viruses need to be passed from host to host. Why was it only me who who got it, but none of the other 21 people I was cooped up with in a classroom all day at the time? (still healthy, lucky souls, seen on Facebook having lovely lives). Why did none of my friends...

Thanks @shak8 Great idea to apply with gloves. I am the kind of person who will stick a finger in my eye. I'm really glad that you get relief of your pain with these topical creams. I wish I could tolerate those menthol and camphor smells! I'll try and get some high strength capsaicin cream...

Oh the freeze sprays, with their menthol pong @Kitty :confused: Or Deep Heat. Urghhhhhh! The skin heating up - hadn't thought of that as an effect of capsaicin. Makes sense as it's essentially hot pepper cream! Not sure if I'd welcome that distraction or not. Only one way to find out... The...

That's it. My dog is staying in my bedroom, in isolation with me. I'll get a treadmill for walkies.

I'm in a crash, and my joints are all hurting horribly, most of the time. My shins ache and my ankles throb. My toe bones kill. I don't get muscle pain with my ME - is that unusual? It's always these things that hurt me, especially with PEM. Aspirin, nurofen and paracetamol have no effect. I...

Thanks @Sarah94 :thumbsup:

Just twigged that it's the free paper you can pick up when getting the London Underground, the Manchester Metro (tram), and probably public transport in cities I've not been to. :jawdrop: How brilliant to do a series to high-light that sometimes the healthy looking people taking, and remaining...

No one's talked about neuroinflammation in ME and PEM. Is that not an avenue of research anymore? Jared Younger was doing it last I read? I'm crashed and can't search it. Anyone up to date? Thanks.
