Hi, this is about my OH. She has been suffering with this since June I reckon. She is a fit active 49 year old. Or normally active. We eat well, excercise and don't smoke. Drink in moderation.
Today is particularly bad. She lay in bed this morning saying her muscles were burning. Massaging them doesn't help. She complains of the same burning pain in what must be her diaphragm. She feels tired all the time. She is strong willed and fights what I'm sure would have most people bedridden. Her pulse rises far to quickly from simple exercise like climbing the stairs. She now finds it difficult to sleep, which can't help. With the tiredness I mean.
I don't know how many people she has seen but it's an awful lot.
Her thyroid is very slightly enlarged but tests come back fine. Parathyroid is fine. They found a Vitamin D deficiancy (9 insteads of 50) but this has been treated and the level has now been normal for 8 weeks or so. No change. Next was tests for Fibromyalgia, not that either. She stopped drinking alcohol completely for a couple of months, no change. She has been to see allergists, accupuncturists, dietitions and had more blood tests than I could guess. Next on the agenda is an abdominal scan.
It didn't come on gradually, it just happened one day. There are good days and bad days but it is always there.
Give me some ideas please, I don't know what to do to help her.
