I was supposed to be staying off this forum but I was inundated with a PM asking me to hang around.
In the 10 plus years that I've had this disorder I thought I'd experienced every type of symptom possible. But I awoke this morning at 5 am with a symptom that had me throwing diazepam and pain killers down my neck for the fun of it. I've never experienced or heard of this symptom before, either here, or via another site that people contact me from.
The top half of my calf muscle is so knotted up, tight and painful, that it is affecting my gait to the point that it is causing me to limp and all this has come on overnight whilst sleeping. Many times in the past I've woke up with the odd tender spot affecting a muscle, but not with anything that has caused such severe pain, over such a large area, and certainly nothing that has affected how I walk.
I have always been at home with this disorder and have never suffered anxiety like so many on here experience. I know this new symptom is attributable to PNH (as I prefer to call) so I am in no way concerned that it is a prelude to any other disorder. Moreover, I fully expext this to resolve its self in the next day or two. I'm also aware that my diagnosis of NMT is a more severe form of BFS and BCFS.
I am interested to know if anyone else has experienced the sudden onset of such a severe painful symptom that has developed whilst asleep. Anyway, I have to go as I feel another Diazepam and pain killer breakfast coming on.
