Hello, I am hoping that some of you lovely lupie people will be able to share some ideas for coping.
I have been diagnosed with Lupus for over 18 years and also have Fibromyalgia and Rhuematoid Arthritis.
I am finding it incredibly hard to cope with constant aching in my legs every night when I get into bed. The pain is in the knee, hip and ankle joints but I also have very severe muscle spasms and pain.
I was diagnosed as also having restless leg syndrome and prescribed muscle relaxants but all they did was make me feel groggy in the morning.
This unremitting pain night after night is really getting me down and I would love any suggestions that anyone might have.
Thanks in advance
Oh thought it might be helpful to add that I am currently taking, prednisone, methotrexate, gold, plaquenil, humira injections and pain meds (not that they seem to touch my pain!)
