Entire body hurting.

[murraynz]

surely, it makes sense to go and see a medic,or even two, to check that they have the the same opinion.there must be some tests that they could do to clarify the problems..

it sounds unpleasant-not much point in just waiting and hoping that things will come right

what kind of pain....muscular....tendons...joints.....I know dengue can bring on back breaking body aches....dont f around get it checked asap.

Sounds like dengue. I've had two types (of the possible four). Knocked me flat, literally, on the bathroom floor. Dengue's nasty. Blood pressure drops, I was 50/30 when the ambulance arrived. Internal bleeding. Aches all over. Oh , no cure. Just a week or so of agony,.Drink lots of salty fluids. Really bad news,  the mosquito vector has mutated from diurnal to nocturnal. Dengue 24/7.

[Bang Bang]

Worse in the morning and then slowly improving through the day? A purple note says it's arthritis.

 

Turn off the AC in the bedroom,  use a fan, and drink a lot of water before hitting the sack. Because, yes, you do want to be getting up a couple of times in the night and not sleeping like a log.

 

Take an NSAID - Meloxicam is good for arthritic pain - at near the webmd advised dosage limit. If you are better with this regime, then there are three more things you need to do.

 

Exercise. Exercise. And exercise.

Come to think of it, I had something similar many years ago, after returning from a trip to phuket.

If I remember correctly it was something viral. Im not kidding here, but I went to see a shaman

and he performed some rituals and gave me daily massages for a week and it was gone. 

 

 

yep, that's a good excuse for the wife,  Must remember that one!!

after blood and semen analysis

 

If I weren't infertile and a doctor wanted a sample of my semen I'd accuse him of being a pervert.  Did he also want to perform a deep and probing prostate examination?

 

Perhaps you meant "serum"?

[fantom]

Please go and see a doctor. It certainly sounds rheumatoid in origin but you really do need to get this checked up and not rely on online diagnostics from here.

35 years ago in Bangkok I had muscular pain everywhere on my body especially in the morning, I was 30, I could hardly walk, every steps hurt, everything seems like rheumatism.  In Singapore they isolated Chlamydia then they called this: Reiter Syndrome.

 

Chlamidia is apparently half viral and half bacterial in size that I apparently caught sexually somewhere between Singapore and Bangkok.  In Bangkok and Bombay where I was working they did not know what it was then in Singapore Mount Elisabeth hospital after blood and semen analysis, they found Chlamydia, it was reactive to Tetracycline among many other antibiotics.

 

I then took Voltaren 100Mg tablets for a full year with 100Mg Tetracycline tablets daily and I was ok after a full year only of this treatment.  This is to indicate that you need to see a specialist with a full blood and semen tests.

Don't self medicate with voltaren it's Diclofenac and 100mg is high dose for long term.

[Boss]

I guess your best option is to visit a well  accredited rheumatologist ASAP  ! polymyalgia rheumatica ?? Don't start medication without a proper diagnose from a professional specialist !!

[jko]

You are clearly suffering both physically and mentally, but you will get nowhere acting like this.

 

Waste no time. Get yourself to a good doctor, maybe starting with Dr Morgan at the Health Care Medical Clinic who can refer you to a specialist. These amateur diagnoses are only likely to increase your angst, and make you feel worse.

Hope you get well soon.

That's what it sounded like to me. I too have had everything ache and it was worse first thing in the morning and I felt progressively better as the day wore on.

I'm taking an NSAID and Lyrica and feeling much better most of the time.

 

That said, the O/P should really see a doctor. Many different issues can present with the same or similar symptoms. Getting advice from a forum like this is really not productive. You would hardly want to start experimenting with the various suggestions made here while hoping something works for you. Even if one or more of the suggestions made the symptoms more tolerable, you would still be unsure of the cause. Pain is telling you something is wrong and you need to find out what and why.

you laugh but it was unfathomable....all i know is I was staying in some place called sawasdee village at kata. Balinese style bungalows around a pool....fair few insects and I do remember getting bitten though not by a mosquito.

 

The shaman guy is a 100% dependable guy and he sorted me out in a week or so....or maybe it was just a viral that left on its own...and the shaman bit was a placebo.

As you have had this for months it is very unlikely to be of infectious origin.

 

What medications are you on? Some drugs can have this as a side effect, especially statins.

 

Other possibilities include rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions but before exploring that (which would require tests with a specialist) tell me what meds you take.

Not likely. I eat a balanced diet, rather heavy on meat. Plus I take vitamin and mineral supplements in tablet form daily. Therefore, I can't see it as a nutritonal problem.

- Can supply another clue: The first hour after awakening is the worst time of the day for me. As the day progresses, I gradually feel better. Come bedtime, I am almost "comfortable", but knowing that the same pattern will repeat by the next day.
As suggested by posters here, I will present this problem to my "medics". If they qualify me as a hypochondriac, so be it.

Secretly hoping that "Sheryl" will comment on this. As a "pre-second opinion" so to speak.
Not expecting a firm "long distance diagnosis", but possibly giving a clue as to where the "root of the problem" may  originate from.
Thx & cheers.

Stop taking every supplement that you are taking. I was spending 4000 baht a month on the special minerals and stuff. 

I ended up in hospital, similar to you, but peeing all night long. 

I stopped taking the supplements and got well. Turns they were making me sick. 

Might not be your case, but worth a try.

Maybe iron deficiency. Get some iron tablets. You might be anemic, my dad had the same symptoms as you. Some iron and he was better.

my thoughts also. I had this many years ago (only 35 years old) thought i was going to end up in a wheelchair. Whilst reading some anti acid ( which i had been taking a lot)it stated it could cause anaemia. Went and bought some iron tablets and 1 week later i was good as new. I had suffered for a good seven months prior to this.

I take the following medications:

- Amlodipin (high blood pressure)
- Omeprazol (stomach)
- Spiriva (bronchospasmolytikum, for inhalation)
- SimvaSTATIN (high cholesterol) = Ouups! STATIN was mentioned several times here as a possible "culprit".

Thanks for all the replies folks, much appreciated.
One thing is obvious: There can be a zillion of reasons causing those symptoms.
- Have appointment at clinic per Nov. 1st. Several tests are scheduled.
A final diagnosis like: "You are getting old my good man, what do you expect" will not suffice.
Will keep you posted.
Thx & cheers.

Chikungunya is the diagnosis I will throw into the ring. My mother tested positive

for it. Everything painfully sore. Bones, joints, muscles. Thought she was going

to die and if she did not she hoped she would if it did not stop. It took six months

before she recovered.

Please don't wait that long, get the blood tests done asap and they can give you a painkiller which will relieve you for a day or so until test results give a clue. I was given a large dose of painkiller into a vein in my hand and had to lie down for 15 mins and went from slightly high blood pressure to 106/73 because it relaxed me so much. I initially saw the infection specialist thinking similar ways to you and saw the rheumatologist a week later so don't delay get diagnosed.

The only thing can help you, is to visit a Doctor. Best you go to a Hospial for a recent check.

No, that is a select gang including myself.  This sounds like some inflammatory condition, whereas you have inflammatory postings.  No cure, I fear

Without suggesting that the advice given above is of no value,,, you really need to get to a good hospital that can do blood tests etc to try to ascertain the problem (s)

Go spend the money ,,,, they understand your  situation & will not laugh at you

 

no offense meant, but this is all wrong, ... for number of reasons ...

It would need to be a lengthy "lecture" to explain,so

I'm just going to say this:

hospitals and doctors are good only for labs and a trauma cases, for not much else

if you seriously wish to be well

Doctors and hospitals are obliged to to "make you a patient", treat you with numerous costly procedures and feed you with endless, unnecessary, and harming drugs

You start to "go to see a doc" and you never stop, getting worse and worse and I do not exaggerate!

You are never "healed", simply because soon after you become ill of the side effects and / or other problems or failures caused by the previous harmful interventions to the system and inevitably growing psychological (belief) burden (perception) ...

My money is on the Simvastatin.

 

If your LDL-C and triglycerides aren't too bad now you might try going off it to see if the muscle aches decrease. If they do, consult a doctor about alternative medications such as niaspan or a fibrate...or see if you can control through diet and exercise.

 

Your lipids will rise when you go off so don't stay off more than a month without rechecking levels and seeing about alternative med.

See 10 doctors, get 10 different diagnoses. Plus the privilege of being charged for it.

The pain may even be caused by the anti-cholesterol drug  he's on, prescribed by a doctor.

Statin drugs are indeed, a bad boy on your list

in Japan is prohibited to prescribe statins without adding CoQ10

not only the CoQ10 will improve your "walk around" ability ( stimulates the heart muscle ) but along with PQQ (plant based natural compound) and  Chinese immortality vine ( boosts the cells' ability to produce AMP, the fundamental fuel of our bodies ) you will be able to  repair  and even regenerate  new mitochondria (necessary energy for our cells)

[Krataiboy]

Have you been taking statins?
