UPDATE:
Not much of an update. Saw dr (not my regular one). She had no idea what might be wrong. Ordered a bunch of blood tests, and results were all normal. Of course, right? I slept all day yesterday, and I am feeling better today. Way less pain.
Lyme disease is very unlikely as we have few ticks here, and I never go into the woods.
Hopefully not something as serious as MS. I do have a couple of autoimmune diseases, so perhaps I was just having a weird flare up of one of them.
I haven't made any changes to my meds lately, so hopefully it's not a med reaction, though if this continues or reoccurs, I'll definitely have to consider that.
I hope I continue to feel better.
OP:
First off, my drs office isn't open yet; it's just before 6 a.m. here.
I've had increasing pain over the last few days, but now it is severe. My legs feel like they do with sciatica (burning pain from butt down the leg); both legs are involved. But my arms hurt intensely too. The back of my right upper arm feels like it has a huge bruise, but it doesn't. My back aches. My hands even hurt. The pain is burning, intense, constant, and feels like nerve pain. I'm also crazy itchy.
I can't take ibuprofen or Aleve without eating, and I'm nauseous (probably from the pain, so I really don't want to eat). I took Tylenol and Benadryl. The itching isn't a reaction to the Tylenol as it preceded my taking that medication.
I haven't done, eaten or drunk anything unusual in the last few days.
I'm really at a loss, and have rarely, if ever, felt pain like this all over my body. It doesn't feel like the body aches from the flu. No fever.
Any thoughts?
