Hi -
I just wanted to reach out to some fellow type I-ers. I noticed a couple of years ago I have this uncomfortable/pain skin sensation going on that gets worse at night. It is burning and prickly feeling. My skin feels like it is bruised all over even when I touch very lightly. It has also started to spread all over and has gotten worse. I was tested for neuropathy, but it is not that. I was also tested for Rheumatoid Arthritis, UCTD, MCTD...you name it and the docs finally told me I have Fibromyalgia. For some reason, I am skeptical about their diagnosis and feel that they diagnosed me with this just b/c they had nothing else to pin me with. Does anybody have these symptoms or heard of anyone who does? I am wondering if it is related to Type I? Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The only thing that works for me is to take a bath. The drying off is the worst. But somehow the higher the temperature...The longer the relief.
