So my legs hurt almost all the time along with my arms and my skin feels like it's bruised.
Anyone experience this? My knee joints start flaring and from there the rest is history. Now the new thing on top of that is the migraines I've been experiencing. I've always had migraines but my gosh they seem to be coming back on more severe and more often. I am bipolar and I tell you what! There are days that my depression wants to get the better of me but I somehow get over it and count my blessings...I know it can always be worse.

I just hurt!!! mad

(((((((Gentle hug)))))))
Do you have fibro too?
My fibro will make my clothes hurt me.

I think the weather changes are affecting me more with all of the increased pain levels.
I hope you can find some relief.

I do have fibro also. I got cortisone shots in my neck, thighs, calves, and ankles today. I am also off work for 4 more weeks and going to PT for what, I don't know but I'll try it.

I know what you mean about clothes hurting..my skin feels like one great big bruise.

So sorry that you're hurting so bad. I certainly can relate to that (((hugs))). Like Joy mentioned it could be the weather that's making your hurt more. Lupus migraines can be a real bugger and hard to get rid of them. However, they can be overcome, I got past mine. I rarely get headaches, anymore and I've got zomig for mine just in case.

Living in Chronic pain all the time really eats away at our mood and I wish I could find a way to get rid of my pain, then I wouldn't be so depressed all the time. I've got Fibro, RA, Lupus and leukemia, and all the complications that go with each disease. Some days I couldn't tell you which disease is even causing my very bad pain day. It's terrible, currently I'm about ready to get good and drunk and chop off my foot with my hubby's wood axe in the garage.

I hope that you can get your pain much much better. I hope your PT helps you and just being off from work will give you a break to improve. Please take care and let us know how you're doing. I'll be praying for you and I pray that tomorrow is a low/pain free day for you.

Hugs,
Barbara

I'd been walking around my home ever so slowly but today I feel much better. I also got put on Mobic which I'm hoping I will love. I wanna be better so that I can go back to work and back to my life. Thanks all of you for the encouragement and I would really go mad if I didn't have y'all.

A WARNING about MOBIC (meloxicam) This is an extreme aspirin product. DO NOT TAKE IT IF YOU REACT TO ASPIRIN!!! It has 6 pages of warnings and cautions. PLease look this up on the net before you take it. One of the sneaky side effects is bladder infections, and bloody noses (which is considered life threatening) I have had severe, life threatening reactions to this drug, yet I handle basic aspirin just fine. Weigh the decision to take this carefully and discuss this with your doctor. Ultimately, it is YOU who will be dealing with it's symptoms, no one else. Thought I'd let you know the facts about this drug- and my story.

Thanks Bonnie for the info. I have been on mobic for some time now and the only side effect I've noticed is severe bloating! No kidding I look like I'm 5 months pregnant and thanks to you I now know where it's coming from! LOL I should have checked this forum sooner.

Thanks again, Patty
