iv had to book a very early accupunture treatment just to deal with the aniexty of going to both appointments ,
people think i am crazy but honest the thought of dealing with anything eles ontop of what i deal with daily is just to much with out the acupunture i wouldnt make the appointment .
iv never seen actipatch .iv tried the belladonna pain plaster but it sticks so well its agoney trying to take it of .

and if you notice that your bust increases with them imagine what its doing to pre cancerous cells . dont want to stress you but its worth a thought there are other less intrusive ways some thing called thermograms that pick up stuff via heat ..not sure were available ,but its worth looking into

The new ActiPatch® Muscle & Joint Pain Relief can be used on multiple locations on your body using medical adhesives to reduce pain and inflammation. This product is great for your back, hips, neck, shoulders, and many other areas. Worth googling and you can order it on line.
The mammograms I have to have yearly as I have been diagnosed with carrying the BRCA1 gene :-(

Poor you. My ankles and thighs hurt too but I just thought it was all part of the Fibro. I understand how you feel but have no answers.

Then I found it very hard to start walking again I almost seized up,
But kept at it and started again it took a while and I was scared I'd not be able to walk far again, I now walk 30/40 minutes and then I'm knackered but will keep building up my muscles again, fibro will not keep me down 😃
I'm finding it hard to use my arms at the moment without pain, they feel so weak, and I can't peal a potato or veg without my hand swelling up and starting off my kneck pain,
As you know it's one thing after another,
But keep persevering little steps you'll get there,
Hugs 👼🏻

Totally agree with you......once you get used to walking then stop for some reason and go back to it the walk can become a challenge. Well done to you for going back to it and only walk for as long as you can and enjoy the outdoors at the same time. Taking in every moment as you walk.
My hands tend to ache and sometimes freeze when peeling vegetables but one must carry on or no food would be ready for the family. (LOL)
It's best to keep going within reason and remember to take regular breaks too.
One day and moment at a time is my philosophy

Hope your well today,
I have a 5 month old G Grandson and he has just kissed and gummed me to within an inch of my life, I ain't laughed so much in ages what a brilliant feeling to laugh with others over simple innocent little things his teeth must be killing him, but the funny thing was he was chuckling with us,
Keep going keep chin up everyone. 😂

thank god i manage to keep calm and asked if something could be done luckly someone had time between appoinments so i only had to wait half an hour . and then we got it done . not worrying any more now its posted and now i shall forget about it for now .
went to doctors and as per usual most of the blood tests have come back ok . except the fso i think she said in the hormones .
and a certain very high inflamotray marker .
so now more blood test for inflamotry conditions . and a an appointment for the rhemotoligist has to be booked . very dissapointed .
i asked her about the high inflamotry marker and what it could mean she said could be hidning any number of other conditions which i no
so still a waiting game
