+ can't speak either

basically wondering,has anyone ever had it to the point they can't talk or move even a finger to call someone for help? bc i am also bipolar, i am wondering whether what i went through was possible only for someone who is bipolar in addition to having fibromyalgia. or not necessarily bipola

Honestly it doesn't sound like either. I'm not a doctor but in my opinion you should get checked out immediately as there are a number of possibilities and some of them are very serious.

Good luck and please let us know what the doctor says.

I have been to the point of laying in bed one morning, being in so much pain and mental anguish over it that literally didn't have the strength to speak or even reach over to my sleeping Husband to ask for help. I could do nothing but lay there and cry for a few minutes before I finally got up enough strength to call out to him for help. He awoke and got me a glass of water and a muscle relaxer, helped me to sit up so I could swallow it and he propped up some more pillows for me to lay more comfortably. So yes, I can honestly say that I've been there.

Though from what it sounds like, you may be experiencing something a little different. My experience was more of an emotional, spiritual and physical exhaustion of being in so much constant pain. It sounds like it's something a little deeper than that for you.

Best of luck.

I agree with Peace, you need to be check out and not by some local dr.

Please keep us updated and wishing you good news.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
