My left arm has been causing me a little grief where it will get numb or tingles. My left shoulder in the last week or so has developed some joint pain that comes and goes. I assume part of it is Lyme getting into the nerves. Hopefully my shoulder won't develop Rice Krispies sounds like a lot of lymies who have joint issues.
Yes and in other areas too. Pretty much all over pain.
Yes, I get radiating pain in my arms and legs. It feels like it is traveling through my tissue in streams, and can be a nuisance or a nightmare depending on how good a day it is.
I think pains like these are among the many common complaints of Lyme patients. Holding even a light object (like a folder with just a few sheets of paper) for more than a moment or two can make my hands and wrists hurt and/or make my skin tingle/burn. I type everything, but if I am forced to write with a pen, it quickly becomes painful.
Hot showers are a no-no for me! I developed heat intolerance over a year ago. Too much heat can either activate my sensory symptoms, leaving me tingling and buzzing like crazy, or bring on flu-ish bouts of fatigue and achiness. Even though I've been doing so much better lately, I can still wipe myself out for most of the day if I take too long or too hot a shower. Too bad, because it is otherwise therapeutic on my joints.
Hot showers help me a lot too. Sometimes though in the evening if the pain is more of 'deep ache' than 'throbbing' a hot bath with Epsom salts then straight to bed gives me enough relief to relax a bit and drift off to sleep - atleast untill I wake up a few hours later feeling like my bladder is in need of relief - on going to the bathroom there might be an egg cup full at best!!!! and so it goes -all night.
I'm wafling-on again
Oh, yes. On and off all the time, some days worse than others. A very warm/hot shower helps the aches and pains.
