Horrible leg pain with fibromyalgia

Thanks for your reply. I sometimes don't know if I can make it through the day. I have a high tolerance for pain; however, this pain in my legs has almost done me in. The bad part is that you look fine and feel terrible. I get no sympathy. I would just like some understanding that many times I just don't have the energy or will power to do anything. It makes you cranky and out of sorts. I also have trouble sleeping. I have sleep apnea so don't like wearing a mask all night long. I rarely have any nights when I don't wake up multiple times. To top it off I have hot flashes, even though I am 74. Ugh!

I am 74 also and take periden C for hot flashes and now a estrogen cream which helps. Melatonin does help with sleep for awhile then like everything else it stops. I have gotten no help over the years with this because half of the docs don't believe in it. I went to the ER having a heart attack and the doc saw fibro and said he didn't have time for people like me, I grabbed him and said I Was having a heart attack, later he came running in and said I Was right and got a cardiologist in as fast as he good, I should have sued but didn't have the energy. No one brings casseroles when you can't get out of bed. I don't know how I am going to handle this brain surgery although I have had ovarian and gallbladder cancer so I guess I can get through this
