Beat Up? - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

blueslvr53 · 04-11-2005, 03:49 PM

Hi,
I am also on this roller coaster of a journey to finding a dx. Since last Oct it seems I have had every symptom under the sun. Today I feel almost like someone has beat me up. It is like someone punched me all over my body, or like if you exercised really hard after not exercising in a long time. It is sore to touch everywhere from head to toe. Especially in my joints. Even my fingers and toes ache. Has anyone else had this? Thanks for your input...

yes i feel that way everyday,,, it was worse this past winter, due to it always snowing or raining, it seems like dampness makes me feel worse,,, my drs have gave me vicodin but that doesn;t even knock the pain,,, i feel like someone run me over with a truck,, what helps my back pain some is Lidocaine patches,,,, they were actually made for shingles,,, but they do help with the pain. ask ur dr about them maybe they will help u too,,, my joints are in so much pain it makes me wanna cry 24/7 but i can;t do that either.

Deb,

Sorry to hear you are feeling so crummy.

Have you ever been tested for Lymes disease? I have read that sometimes people experience the same symptoms of MS when they actually have Lymes disease. I was thinking of that because you mentioned the joint pain.

I may not log on tomorrow so I want to wish you best of luck with your testing on Thursday.

Take care,
Ronda

Hi Ronda,
Yep been tested for Lymes too, came back neg. I have read alot about it and know it doesent always show up. Plus I am not sure if the lab that ran the test is accurate.(Some are not suppose to be).
Thanks for thinking of me on Thurs. Ill keep you posted. Have you had any muscle or joint pain? How about any burning sensations? I get this yucky burning feeling in my head, knees, shoulders like they are on fire. The girls at work call me "fire ant"! Well I hope you have a good rest of the week..............Deb
