    Poor you sweetie! That would be a very scary ordeal. Glad that you did call an ambulance. We can't hesitate when we have acute symptoms like that! Are you taking magnesium and calcium supplements Sara? Turmeric also helps with the inflammation we suffer with. This chronic condition can be a real challenge over time. I hope you are feeling better soon my dear. Watch your stress and worry sweetie. Try to relax your mind and body. Listening to relaxing music really helps in that area. Sending you warm hugs!

    I've suffered something like this, too, about three weeks ago.  I went to the ER twice under dr's advice, and after tests was told it was soft tissue pain around my back.  It has been hurting me ever since!  So hard to get up from bed or even sitting.  And it is hanging on, improving only slightly so far.  I also have fibromyalgia, about 30 years of it, plus polymyalgia rheumatica.  I feel your pain.  I hope you can improve soon.
