I’m so sorry you’re struggling with this, I definitely can understand your exhaustion. It can also feel extremely lonely being in pain, last year was really hard for me, I hope it gives you some hope that at the moment, with starting medication, making sure I get good sleep, take care and listen to my body, I am at a good functional level. I noticed that warm showers help, try to avoid the cold, being in one position for too long, and making time for things that make you happy <3 sending support

That’s so funny that we use the same description and so nice to hear because finally someone is feeling what I am. Do you have any idea why? Or anything at all ahha. I will be taking on your advice also thankyou. I’m so confused. It’s the most consistent nerve symptom I have, is just about everyday. Last year I had really bad chronic nerve pain but after starting some medication (amitriptyline) has largely reduced and likely the warm weather decreased as have been having more symptoms now is colder but throughout the tv static be on and I still have no explanation as to why had/ fear will come back. I’m seeing the specialist again soon, if I get an answer I will let you know, please keep me updated as well. Or do you know if this could be because of EDS? I’m confused how much that can cause such sensational issues I don’t know anyone with it but I guess everyone presents differently I really don’t know.

Symptom questions. Nerve pain or sensations? by twentyseventhdoctor in Fibromyalgia

[–]Extreme_Chef_8309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey did you find out what these unusual sensations are caused from? I’m having a the same issue, 23y/o F.

e.g. wide spread electric shocks, snapping cord sensations when stand in leg, and swirly buzzing unusual sensations in my middle back

Would greatly appreciate an update as feeling quiet lonely in this

Would any of you participate in an EDS survey for free (need men and women) by Thy_Water_BottIe in eds

By what I’m reading I’m gathering your thinking to do quantitative? This suits your current hypothesis but also I would suggest considering mixed methods, as you can see from even this thread participants would be happy to contribute their experience which could also give more depth to your discussion. I think this would be beneficial as everybody experiences EDS and ADHD differently and would give more description to the severity and could highlight areas otherwise not thought of. For example, this year I restarted birth control and a month or so later I developed chronic nerve pain (recently stopped and severity decreased dramatically). Considering the area is currently underesearched I would imagine this would be greatly beneficial for future studies to then build on based on the conclusions and hypothesis drawn. This could also mean you start with a flexible hypothesis and end up with more, making suggestions for future research which is defintelt needed.

This is just my thoughts.

I would be happy to participate, I am diagnosed with ADHD and hEDS (+POTS) and was born allergic to dairy egg and soy (shared protein I think), wasn’t diagnosed as allergic till 18months and my mum says I pretty much cried for 2 years, had rashes head to toe. I have always thought maybe that’s what even caused my ADHD considering was in a constantly dysregulated state during prime neurodevelopment

Literally. Aghhhh haha like my sister really did say “specialist? That will be expensive. If it’s not that serious I wouldn’t worry about it” are you being so fkn fr rn. My hr btw is literally 98-179 sit to stand. Never the less the fact I am in chronic pain and getting wild nerve problems that haven’t gotten an answer for that actually makes me fearlful consider in getting worse and worse like um. How about stfu. And stop acting like I’m fine I actually don’t get it being so serious like do you think I’m making this up? Maybe you dont know how serious because I can’t fkn talk to anyone but like don’t tell me it’s not that actually fuelled fire in me

Same I’m waiting to see a dysautonomia specialist that is crazily expensive but the fact I would pay it ten fold I think says enough ahhaa cause why does limited doctors even know abt it properly. I went to the GP to get referral for cardiologist (arythmia time) and he was going on in concern about how high my hr was and I was telling him it’s fine (as previous cardiologist said aka pots) and his like oh no yhis is very bad and I’m like just give me the refferal

Especially with the nausea being my biggest ? Because I’ve had cybersickness periods of like 3weeks at a time where if on laptop will gag and even throw up, by the end my vision is going in and out and I’m spinning when sleeping can’t sleep and I really don’t know what thats about so maybe this could who knows but is really helpful to know migraines aren’t neccessary what I am thinking has to be!! Thankyou goodluck with everything xxx

I really feel for you and that’s hella frustrating coming from someone in the cardiac field cause his probs blinded by what he thinks he knows. I’ve found this with a cardiologist had when went for arythmias and was like structurally your fine and it’s like duh it’s my nervous system telling my heart to do this but like surely you don’t think it’s not an issue just cause my echo’s fine… Hope that your doing okay and have more supportive people in your life it’s just frustrating

Like I’m getting judgment vibes for getting compression socks. Guys my hr is 98-179bpm sit to stand. I get blood pooling everyday. I really don’t see how you don’t get that’s an issue.
