Flare up?

[missdiane]

It's weird how so many things are going off at once. I can't sleep on either side but can't sleep for extended periods even propped up. The right knee still threatens to go out even with all the KT Tape and since I'm walking in careful little shuffle steps, my left calf has a knot. My feet keep feeling like they're going to cramp now and then and things just feel ODD. Maybe it's an actual hypermobility flare up?

It make sense with what other folks report here

Well I hope I can get it to resolve soon. I have too much to do both inside the house and with work.

In better news, did make the soup yesterday and it does taste similar to the one I paid too much for. The broth is a bit dark in color since the pregrilled chicken from TJs was pretty blackened. Also, I wish I'd have bought another bag of the frozen grilled corn since I didn't realize that the bag I had only had a little left in it and I don't have any other corn. Still, at least it's good and with the contents, I'm getting about three servings for nearly the price of the one serving from the farmers market. I also found a big local beefsteak tomato at TJs and I did make the tomato sandwich. It was delicious. Even with adding a slice to my breakfast burrito this morning, I have enough for another later today.

Hope your flare up calms down soon!

Yay for soup turning out well - too bad you don't live closer, I had 4 cobs of corn that needed to be used up, so loads went into my soup, as well as having a bunch left over for side dishes for dinners, LOL

I hope you get through your flare soon. Rest and soup sound like a good way to go.

A lot of the descriptions on the page you linked sound like the pain and fatigue of a fibromyalgia flare. I just don't get the joint wobbles or muscle weakness. Interesting!

They are pretty similar with chronic pain and there's a lot of overlap with people being diagnosed with both when it comes to symptoms. They also both are frustratingly hard to treat as you know.

My hypermobility (which may or may not be formal Ehlers-Danlos disorder which is a connective tissue disorder) is what contributes to my back pain because being all good and too bendy, it's likely what caused my scoliosis.
