Hi everyone,

I haven't been here for a while.  Been busy and trying to get things done.  I  am sorry that I haven't been around and supporting others. 

I have a question.  My fibrofog has been very bad lately and I hate that feeling.  I have been incredibly busy the last 3 weeks.  Last week I had 4 dental appts three hrs. each appt and 2 teeth pulled as well as working at night til 12:00.  This week I have been working late as well.  Since having the teeth pulled, my neck and shoulders hurt alot.  Today I was cleaning under the beds and I had bad neck spasms.  The rest of today has been really sore.  I could use some advice.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi Lisa...good to see you! I think the fact that you have been so
busy lately might be attributung to the fog. A combo of fatigue and
stress and the fact you have fibo is enough to bring on the fog.

Have you had your blood potassium checked in awhile? I have
a problem with mine being low in spite of eating bannanas, drinking
OJ ect.. I just started taking prescription potassium chloride.
Hoping my levels get back in the normal range. Potassium is very
important to brain function.

Relax with some moist heat for your neck spasms. I don't know
whether you take any muscle relaxer but that would help also,

Hope you feel better :)

Hugs, Robin

Hi Lisa. It sounds like you had tons of dental work done so I'm wondering if the neck and shoulder pain is from all that time in the chair. I have a hard time with the chairs at my dentist office bothering my neck/shoulder and I know that a 3 hr appt would definitely make things spasm. If you have a muscle relaxant I would take it. If not, magnesium can be helpful for muscle spasms. Either way I would use moist heat to help relax those muscles. I hope thing settle down for you very soon. Lee

Lisa,

Ouch, I don't envy you! Going to the dentist can sure mess with my body, esp. if it's a long appointment like you described. It may just take a few days for the effects to wear off. Heat, ice, meds? Whatever works!
