The calm after a flare & Fibromyalgia symptoms
Well today I finally seem back on me feet from the post-moving-my daughter-flare.
That means I woke with the usual stiffness and pain, and could concentrate enough midday
to pay bills. I also was able to go to 2 different stores looking for a 'immobilizing shoe' for my husband, whom we found out today does have a fracture in his toe jammed last week after all.
I was up to being me, as I am in pain and fatigued, and doing the extra stuff for him, thank goodness.
Wanted to share a sign of problems to come: When I'd reach down to pull up a light comforter, it hurt my arm. See a movement like that with something that weight shouldn't hurt. The comforter felt like it was weighted. I noted this within a year before being dx'd.
And a couple of strange symptoms: Hiccups, lots and lots of hiccups. FMS is tight and spasming muscles including the diaphragm and so I had hiccups long and strong for the first year. Dribbling, nope not a basketball, sometimes while drinking from a cup tiny spasms in muscles around my mouth cause me to dribble...I asked a friend with FMS about this one and she couldn't believe it, she'd just thought she was clutzy.
