Question?

Hi Tulips

Rats make things easier, it gets it off your chest.
I have had horrible burning muscles, though not to bad lately, but it can feel like you are standing right next to a fire.
Not cramping like you describe, I'm guessing the chest cramp was pretty scary.

I have always wanted there to be a capsule version on relaxin, the hormone woman produce when we are pregnant to allow our muscles to relax and stretch for birth.
I have diabeties, but I don't know if you can develop it after having fybro, it would come back to your pancreas's ability to produce and your body using insulin effectively.
The doctors would say it depends of your family disposition and personal weight etc. My family has a high presence as my mum, aunts and uncles and grandmother are all insulin dependant, I was insulin dependant for my 2nd and 3rd pregnancy.

Personally, the umbrella of auto immune diseases comes to mind, I wonder how much they all interlink more than we know.
My family has the diabeties, thyroid and my uncle has fybro and ms, my mum has diabetic nueropathy, so lots of Auto issues.

This week I have found helpful, my massage seat for a chair. I lay it on my bed and use it. I has a seat and back pad so I can lay where I want the heat or massage. I actually fell asleep on it Friday afternoon.
I find sometimes it sparks the nerves up and gets my legs tingling and the nerves in my lower legs feel like they are dancing. Its not painful, but it its not what you would say is a pleasant feeling.

It has helped relaxing and the tension in my lower back and thigh muscles.
