Hey all. Need some assistance. I've been going to the DR for some additional symptoms for sometime to no avail. Still saying it is Fibro but don't know what else is wrong. Here is what is going on. Been having a lot of muscle twitches/spasms in my arms. My arms are so weak some time I can't even open a bottle of soda. My legs cramp, tingle, and just hurt. My legs also have severe muscle weakness to the point I have fallen down the stairs on 3 different occasions because my legs just gave out. I've had several other episodes where I couldn't get up out of a chair or while walking I had to catch myself on something because my legs just quit working. This scares
   me. My hips hurt so bad sometimes you can't even touch them and they burn like they are on fire and go down my legs. My hands and feet itch off and on all the time. I am also tired and in pain. I do know the pain level goes up and down but it is up an aweful lot and never below a 5. Does anyone have any suggestions for research for the muscle weakness, etc? Just looking for a point in a direction so we can figure this out. I've done research on the web and when I find stuff, I email it to my doctor for him to review. I have had every blood test, MRI, CT, etc possible. I'm being sent to another Rheumie hoping for some additional assistance with a diagnosis. Thank you in advance for all your inputs, suggestions, and comments. Good luck to all.Hugs to all.
