I know I will be seeing my neurologist on March 25, but that is so far off I need help or support now! Since the end of January I have been having major issues with fatigue, joint pain and now the latest symptom to crop up - I feel like I am in a fog at times. It just seems to be getting worse a little bit every day! I am now making good friends with a tube of Aspercreme, but it does very little to help with the joint pain. I did try some Ben-Gay, but found it way too stinky and burning to help me any. I also am having some trouble with frequent bouts of diarrhea. I just don't know what to do anymore! Any information or just some support would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for letting me vent!

Do you have fibromyalgia? AED medications have been found to be very helpful in treatment.

Have you tried taking baths to ease your joint pain? Lavender is a soothing herb that helps. I'm not a real fan of Ben Gay either. Aspercreme or heat/cool packs are a possibility.

You aren't alone. Feel better wishes sent your way!

Your symptoms sound like you have celiac disease. Look it up and see what I mean.

are you by chance on lipitor......I had severe joint pain and etc when on this statin...will never take a statin again...

A p.s I am the queen of joint pain as I have generalized arthritis in multiple joints. I use a walker, had back surgery and a hip replacement...need more surgery soon for the other hip and both knees
Sorry you are hurting!
