Today made me feel ALOT better.
I have fibromyalgia which explains everything. He gave me a new medicine and told me to go walking, and hot baths should help. A full nights rest is very important. And I need to eliminate stress. If the pain medicine n the things he told me to do doesn’t work then he will have to put me on a medication that will help but makes you gain weight n makes your hands n feet sweat. And he doesn’t want to put me on it ESP with everything else I take.
My X-rays turned out to be the same as last. No joint damage or bone damage. But pointed out that my spine isn’t curved like it’s suppose to be which could makes things worse on getting my fibromyalgia undercontrol. Because it is killing my back.
I am in a flare though. I went in swollen and hurting BAD n they took blood too. He also upped my plaquenil from 50mg a day to 200mg. Which scares me cause it makes me so sick. Last time I took that much I couldn’t eat n was down to 100 pounds. N that didn’t even get my lupus under control so I pray the imuron helps n they won’t have to up the plaq. To 400mg a day.
I am ready to get things on a roll. Now I know what could be causing most of my pain n how I can fix it. It makes me happier and motivated.
I haven’t got into the neurologist yet nor an MRI scheduled so that’s the next step.
All I need now is a walkin buddy. :).
