Hi, not sure if its just me but every few months I have seriously bad constipation, severe pains on my keft hand side, with a feeling of having the trots, but they make you come out in a cold sweat and makes you want to vomit. The sweats are pouring off me right now, I get so hot i have to strip off then I am freezing so wrap up in a blanket. It comes and peaks and rests for 10 minutes, and this pain is worse than labour. Am I experiencing a flair up or could it also be my fibromyalgia? Please help, I feel so alone

    Hi Janice

    Sorry to hear of your pain, you really should get medical help, it seems you are in a flar up but wiht hot and cold flushes you are in a fever too. Phone 111 and ask their advice. Good luck

    It's not a fever, it's always like this. It's the pain thats so bad makes me really hit a burst into a sweat and then i strip off and quickly become very cold. I have been under a lot of stress latley,  although I think it's caused this, I think that this is making the stress worse. I just want to add that in between the bouts of pain my temperature seems ok, I honestly think it's the pain, although I know I could be wrong x

    First stop Gp and insist on being sent for a Mri scan. If it DD this will show up. Try some buscopan (chemist sell this without a prescription) Agree it could be a infected flare up ,for which you need gp to prescribe antibiotics. My Gp lets me keep a course in the cupboard for if and whem i need them. Usually every 3-4 months.

      Yes have a very good GP now, Had to change surgerys to find one but was worth it. The antibiotic I found works for me is Co-amoxiclav 500/125mg tablets, contain penicillin.

    Have you been to the doctor Janice. Could the sweats be your age?

    I know thats a cliche but its worth thinking about. The trouble is that when your ill and frightened you add all your symptoms together and panic. I have done this in the past. You need to investigate the pain really. My uncomfortablness is in the right of my side. Hope you get some answers soon.

    I'm 60 and sailed through the menopause, but I do still get slight hot flushes. I don;t knwo whether this is due to DD or an underactive thyroid.
