No more pain, gotta get some sleep, and what is morning stiffness anyway       10/03/04 08:11 AM Edit Reply Quote Snow for Sarala Reged: 03/12/03 Posts: 5430 Loc: West Coast, USA Thanks Linz! I will not be seeing my rheumatologist until a week from tomorrow! I am going to call tom and see if I can get an earlier appointment...this is out of control! It's been WEEKS since I've slept more than 3.5 hours at a tijme...and the pian gets wors every day (although Fri and Sat I felt pretty good all day and then last night--wham!) they have checked me for everything! If it's NOT fibro I will be shocked and get a 2nd opinon. I don't have hypothyroid, arthritis is an autoimmune probn (which I've tested negative for several times in the past year with blood work), etc. Thak G-d for these boards and for Christie telling us her story of getting diagnosed. Linz, I rewcall when you were having problems with this last year...and I thought no way could I have this and I crossed it off my list. I didn't have ba pain and I slept a ton...so I figueds it couldn't be fibro (I didnt say I got GOOD sleep...I just slept forver). Ok...so... What I can do for the pain without a doc? I bought a sleep mask and I took a hot shower before bed. what else can I do? And what's morning stiffness? I have a whole questionarre to fill ouit for the rheumatologist...and one of the questions is "do you get morning stiffness" and "how long has this been going on"? Knowing what morning stiffness is will def. assist me in answering the question I am SO THANKFUL for this board! I am beginning to feel that I'm not alone and it' not in my head...even if the symptoms come andgo and are better/worse some days than others. Thanks a MILLION!
