I have been having horrific fm and costo flares for months. Finally improved and 8 weeks ago my husband suffered another heart attack. a stent blocked up and he had to have emergency by-pass during which he sufferd a small stroke. He is doing well but still has either a 40 or 60 % blockage, surgeon says 40% the cath Dr. says 60%. also a 70 % in a small vessel so this has me up tight. They could not do more surgery because he was in such poor shape when they did the by-pass.
Would you believe that for 7 weeks my pain level was low, not pain free, but are we ever. Last week I was taking a shower reached up to wash my hair and got a knot so bad in my shoulder blade by the end of the day, my entire rib cage, neck, and shoulders hurt so bad with that burning pain, the next morning I awoke with that and also low back pain and the burning down the legs. I am just thankful that my pain level was low and I was able to care for him and the house and do things that he normally does.
I am so glad to see all the newbies here. as soon as my pain decreases I will active again on the boards.
Hugs, Linda.
