Ok now I know I got a few reactions thinking this is soemthing else!! LOL
I have taken the time in the last few weeks to pay attention to everything my body is doing so the DR and I can really work on this but I have noticed more than anything is when I am laying down my muscles are just stiff and tight as a board!! I have to make a mental note to relax my legs and arms and my back and neck. After that I canrelax for a few then I notice I am doing it again. I do know lack of sleep is one huge problem we have and it causes mopre flares but I am just wondering if anyone else is having their body just stiffen up!!!

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...
If I do not take Muscle relaxers. I crimp up so bad and its not just my shoulders? Its everything. Then comes the spasms and numbness in areas. I panic when I know I am low on them cause yes I still have pain but its much worse if my Muscles are not controlled.
I hope you get some relief soon.
Hope your body loosens up. Youjust never know each day what new stupid symptom will rear it's ugly head. Hugs to you, sweetie. sue
