not sure what's going on with me Mood
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | A Venting story
 Well it all started about four weeks ago. On a Sunday night i was going to bed and i put my left arm under my pillow after a few mins. i felt like i had cut off the blood supply in my arm and hand. so i took it out and shook it. it felt better. so i slept that night and the next morning i had it in both hands and in my fore arms. my hands felt tight but no swelling or redness. i noticed my hands and fore arms hurt. it felt like muscle pain or nerve pain. I thought it would go away but it got worse. by the third day i could barley bathe, dress my self. the pain was awful.my feet was hurting to. i have been having foot pain all my life. here lateley my feet have been having charlie horses and in my toes. cold stuff hurts my hands and feet even cold water. I had my husband drive me to the Doctor because i could not drive. She did blood work and gave me mobic. a week latter i went back to find out that i have RA. I told her the pain is still so bad that i cry. She gave me some flexril 10 mg 3 times a day. She changed my med. to celebrex 75mg 2x a day. my hands and arms still hurt but are feeling better. She said it takes time for the med. to work. My arms and hands feel numb and tingley sometime it feels like they fall asleep. yesterday i noticed they have a twiching like a nerve jumping. i got light headed for no reason, before i took any meds. today i felt like i would throw up but i ate something and felt better. I told my Doctor that i thought i had fibromyalgia because i hurt when someone is playing around and the grab you. it hurts to be tickled. i have looked up the pressure points and i do have them. she did not say nothing.
