it started last night and i thought it will be gone in the morning but no.... new symptom sad i feel like blood and oxygen doesn't flow to my legs if it makes sense... like my legs are numb but so painful which also doesn't make any sense.

i couldn't bend to tie my shoes sad it hurts when i walk when i stand when i sit ans mostly when i'm lying. don't know what to do, i'm at work and i'm in serious pain.

and whats even more weird is that my TMJ symptoms has almost entirely disappeared in one night! i can open my mouth wide for the first time in like a year.. it feels like my symptoms and exchanging... like one takes the place of another.

does anyone experience the same feeling? especially the pain in the legs?

    Hi. I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, Anxiety and IBS (currently checking for IBD) and my legs always feel numb and achy with painful hip and knee joints, generally my legs feel restless but sometimes in quite severe pain as well. I also have a lot of problems with my neck and shoulders. These symptoms, along with a whole host of others, can go on for weeks and then, almost miraculously, they will disappear, but I only seem to get a weeks break at most until the next set of symptoms decide to kick off.

    I lost my job through all these problems, and I can't see myself being employable for the foreseeable future, and after working hard for the last 30 years of my life, I'm entitled to no help whatsoever, even my doctor and health professionals seem to have given up with me and left me to deal with it myself. I know there are groups around for support, but when I'm mostly housebound and live in the middle of nowhere, it's impossible to attend any gatherings they may have. I can't do anything and it's really starting to get to me, I feel like a piece of meat that is being kept alive, I really miss being my old self and being able to do things.

    Sorry to sound all doom and gloomy, I'm not in a very good place at the moment and there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel, and its all made worse by my brother asking me to be his best man on his wedding day in a couple of months, but looks like I'm going to have to let him down. He does understand my predicament, but that doesn't stop my own disappointment with not being able to be a special part of his important day.

    I hope your pains aren't causing you too much grief and I hope you get some relief very soon.
