Re: Shaking first thing in the morning

That sounds all to familiar. When I'm tired I get the shaking feeling throughout body but nobody can see from outside. I wake in the morning and my arms and legs have that internal shaking feel in which takes me about half hr to get out ta bed. The breathing side is more faster breathing but as u sa...

Re: Lost my balance

Housemouse, I understand what u say. I didn't remember til u said about the doorways and walls which I tend to brush along, bang into cupboards and then wonder where all those bruises came from.

Re: Pain medication

Hi Kittycat2000. As far as I understand it my GP said that even if she prescribed pregabalin I would be dispensed gabapentin. Doesn't make sense, the only one who can give it to me is the consultant. Makes me feel that money issues are involved.

Re: Lost my balance

Yep I sympathise as its a nightmare this balance issue. Half the time I feel drunk (don't drink) and half the time I feel like I've been on a roundabout and got off too quick. I hate the feeling when I'm say eating or watching TV and everything around me is moving but I feel like I'm in a time zone ...

Re: ME vs. MS

I understand the overlap between these two conditions. Although I was diagnosed with fibro in 2011 had previous history of symptoms. However insisted I saw neuro when condition became worse and initially he agreed and performed an MRI in Feb 2013 which came back clear. He then became `yoour wasting ...
