If it is diabetes i wonder if getting back to a very thin build would fix it? I just hope something can be sorted with the bone pain as its really messing up my routine. I have broken several bones in the past and this is every bit as bad as a fresh break, but its every bone at once. Oh and they've tested for arthritis too, negative.
Hi Again.
Losing weight is always helpful if a Person is Diabetic or Pre-Diabetic.
It can help in controlling it. It will not get rid of it unfortunately.
There are over 150 types of Arthritis.
The incidence of rheumatoid factor increases with duration of disease in rheumatoid arthritis: at 3 months the incidence is 33%, while at one year it is 75%.
Up to 20% of rheumatoid arthritis patients remain negative for rheumatoid factor (also known as "seronegative rheumatoid arthritis") throughout the course of their disease.
Recognizing Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms
Rheumatoid arthritis usually develops gradually, but some patients experience sudden onset of symptoms; one day they are perfectly healthy and the next they are dealing with rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Symptoms which are commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis include:
-Joint pain, joint swelling, joint stiffness, and warmth around the affected joint
-Morning stiffness which lasts one or more hours
-Symmetrical pattern of affected joints, meaning the same joint on both sides of the body is affected (e.g., both knees)
-Small joints of the hands and feet are characteristically involved, although any joint can be affected
-Rheumatoid nodules (firm lumps under the skin), found on elbows and hands of about one-fifth of rheumatoid arthritis patients
-Fatigue and noticeable loss of energy
-Low grade fevers and sometimes flu-like symptoms
-Loss of appetite, weight loss, anemia associated with chronic diseases, depression
-Dry eyes and dry mouth associated with a secondary condition Sjogren's syndrome
-Joint deformity and instability from damage to cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and bone
-Limited range of motion in affected joints
Flares and remission of disease activity is characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis may affect more than the joints and have systemic effects (i.e., affects the organs of the body)
Rheumatoid arthritis affects people differently. No two rheumatoid arthritis cases are exactly the same. There is so much variety in symptoms, some researchers suspect rheumatoid arthritis is not one disease but perhaps several diseases with commonalities.
Tips
-Don't ignore pain that persists.
-Don't assume you injured yourself.
-Consult with a rheumatologist, a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating rheumatoid arthritis patients as well as other rheumatic diseases.
-When you consult with your rheumatologist, always discuss symptoms which have improved or worsened, as well as any new symptoms.
If a Person has this Arthritis, it has to be aggressively controlled so
it does not cause deformity. This disease can also cause death.
***Then there is also Fibromyalgia.
Symptoms of fibromyalgia include:
-Chronic muscle pain, muscle spasms or tightness, and leg cramps
-Moderate or severe fatigue and decreased energy
-Insomnia or waking up feeling just as tired as when you went to sleep
-Stiffness upon waking or after staying in one position for too long
-Difficulty remembering, concentrating, and performing simple mental tasks
-Abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and constipation alternating with diarrhea (irritable bowel syndrome)
-Tension or migraine headaches
-Jaw and facial tenderness
-Sensitivity to one or more of the following: odors, noise, bright lights, medications, certain foods, and cold
-Feeling anxious or depressed
-Numbness or tingling in the face, arms, hands, legs, or feet
-Increase in urinary urgency or frequency (irritable bladder)
-Reduced tolerance for exercise and muscle pain after exercise
-A feeling of swelling (without actual swelling) in the hands and feet
-Painful menstrual periods
-Dizziness
Symptoms may intensify depending on the time of day -- morning, late afternoon, and evening tend to be the worst times, while 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. tends to be the best time. They may also get worse with fatigue, tension, inactivity, changes in the weather, cold or drafty conditions, overexertion, hormonal fluctuations (such as just before your period or during menopause), stress, depression, or other emotional factors.
If the condition is not diagnosed and treated early, symptoms can go on indefinitely, or they may disappear for months and then recur.
Call Your Doctor If:
You have chronic muscle pain and overwhelming fatigue.
