I've had a few bad days lately...very disappointing to say the least.
Main symptom - back and arm pain. Also my sleep has been broken with bouts of anxiety. My anxiety was almost gone prior to this.

But...today...I've been pretty good so far - and it's late afternoon.

Went for a 45 minute drive to the next city for lunch and a bit of shopping with my son and his girlfriend. Was hesitant because of the way I've been feeling...because when the pain comes on...it's pretty bad.
But, everything went well...hardly any pain at all. Just on the drive back, my arm started to flare a bit. But, we were out for 4 1/2 hours...so I'm pleased with that!
Maybe things are looking up. I really need to get a break!

Harry - I've had symptoms since last September...and one of them has always been left shoulder blade pain, radiating down left arm and hand...but not sure if this was from a pinched nerve prior to lyme disease or if it actually was the start of my lyme symptoms...because i read a few times in the symptom lists that radiculopathy is a symptom.

But, other than that, I haven't been having any other back pain until a couple of months ago...when my midback started to lock up for no reason at all...then that went away, and now the past couple of weeks, i have upper and mid back pain - mostly around the spine area, but not lower back pain,. Have also had tail bone pain for a few months and rib pain in the front.

I'm so glad you had another good day following the bad days. It was nice you got to go out with your son and his girl friend. I hope this trend will continue, with more good days than bad as time goes on.

Thanks everyone!

Mike - I doubt if I'll get two in a row...and I'll be lucky to finish this day on a good note. Doing good so far, still. Went out in the back yard and watered my flowers, sat on the deck.

One thing I know - it's so unpredictable - for me anyway. Do you all find that? I thought after my bad night last night (bouts of anxiety waking me up) that today would be rough. go figure.

Well, it's time for bed...made it to the end of the day feeling pretty good. Little pain and stiffness on my left shoulder blade and left arm...but not bad...overall good day!

Now, I'm hoping for a good sleep...maybe that's asking too much!!

So far today is pretty good...not as good as yesterday, but not as bad as it can be.

We'll see how it goes.

:) There is an optimistic girl right there! That sounds awesome. Good days and bad days will ebb/flow - but eventually you WILL be having more good days then bad. Then it will get better from there. :)

Also, I love the title of this thread...mainly because I keep picturing an old English man tipping his cap and telling me "Good day." I'm odd. turn
