@mrsD -- The leg pain has been from both thighs all the way down to the bottoms of both of my feet. There have been times where it's gotten so bad that I can't even rest my arms on my thighs due to what feels like soreness, or I suppose they're just very sensitive to touch...? My knees are the only areas that have experienced extreme burning sensations, which has been happening since Friday. The spasms seem to only happen in my calves. The "bee sting" feelings have been very random in my legs. The cold weather really brings on the extreme pain. I can no longer walk for very long without hurting, either. I've tried to go grocery shopping (the cold sections are torture), or to any store, and I have to take many breaks just to be able to continue on. There really isn't any localized pain -- it's all very random and throughout both legs. I had one night where I couldn't have blankets covering my ankles/feet because they felt so heavy that I thought my ankles were going to be crushed -- or that's what it felt like, anyway.

I will look in to those lotions. Given what I just wrote above, do you think I should try one before the other, or should I just try both? And can I use them at the same time?

I'm supposed to be getting tested for lupus. I don't think that's one of the initial tests my doctor ordered when I was there last week, though. This is going to sound like the silliest question ever, but is lupus determined by a blood test or another test? I've been having random, "Well, maybe you have...!"s thrown at me by random people -- lupus, as well as Lyme, have been two of those theories.
