Glad I found this thread. I've had Fibro and possible Sickle cell for 40yrs. First there are many types of Sickle cell and I've been tested for only one which came back negative. My symptoms shout of SC but I'm waiting for more tests. I definitely have Fibro. and I hate it. Its hard explaining to people that you would love to do certain things but the never ending pain prevents you.
I went out at the w/e to celebrate my mates b'day. On Saturday I could not move because the pain was burning through me. I took my usual Oxy meds and also ibuprofen/Paracetamol mix. Instead of 10hours relief I only got 4hrs. Its now Monday night and only now is it easing up.
So for those also suffering Chronic Pain, my thoughts and love are with you tonight.
