Hello. Hope all is well?
Woundering if anybody can share their thoughts? B12, celiac, fibromyalgia and aklosing spondylitis has been mentioned. Had blood test was normal except vitamin B12, had a second blood test for B12 which was normal. So GP said B12 is not the issue. Had blood tests for celiac which was normal, so GP said celiac is not the issue. Currently waiting to see a rheumatology which could be May 2022. Had physio which was no help. Exercise is no help, resting is no help.
My worst symptom is lower back pain which spreads to my buttocks and thighs, pain in heels and feet (which I have seen biomechanics who diagnosed tendonopthy, Plantar fasciitis, tibialis anterior tendinopathy). The pain can be stiffness, aching, burning, tingling, sharp and stabbing pain. Sometimes I can't lie on my left side as after a while I get cramps in my bottock, thigh and legs. My legs get restless at night. My rib area/chest bone is sore to touch sometimes it's painful to ware a bra. I Often get pain in knees which often slightly swell, pain in elbows, arms, wrist, hips and what feels like stitches. Headaches (diagnosed with high blood pressure). On a good day the pain level is 5/10 and a bad day is 10/10. I'm on Zapain, tryed Dihydrocodine but accidentally overdosed while at work as took does to close together not realising as the pain got that bad as I work on my feet 8 hrs a night (currently on sick leave) after a few days of overdosing not realising I collapsed and suffering my 1st seizure, paramedics said I was unconscious for 30 minutes with enlarged pupils despite all there tests being normal. Being in A&E 4x blood test was normal, heart ultrasound was normal, chest xray was romal, ECG was normal, blood pressure was normal, head CT was normal and EEG was normal. So my GP won't give me Dihydrocodine again but gave me 10mg morphine patches which I couldn't stand the side effects so back on Zapain. My other symptoms include nightly muscle twitching, nightly pins and needles in hands and feet (which I bought wrist splints/supports which help), body stiffness, nausea, bloating, stomach cramps, constipation and dirohear, sensitive to light especially in the mornings. Sometimes sensitive to pain (simple touch or nock), fatigue (sometimes can spends days in bed getting up once for food, especially if been busy the previous day), poor concentration, thinking and remembering, loss of appetite sometimes can only eat 1 small meal a day despite maintaining weight, off balance and clumsy, eaither too hot or too cold, irritability, dizziness, allergys? Itchy nose, itchy forehead, watery eyes and small puss filled spots under bust.
Thank you for reading and sorry for the long post.
