For all the 12 yrs I have had FMS, the top of my shoulders have been extremely sensitive to touch....they have stayed SORE and PAINFUL 24/7 12 yrs now..anyone else have a point at that area? Also under my arms, from my shoulders to my elbow.

Today I am really hurting bad there...it's time for my Lyrica refill I just haven't had time to go get it and the pharmacy is closed today.

Anyone ever make a RICE SOCK?

TAKE UNCOOKED LONG GRAIN RICE AND FILL UP A TUBE SOCK WITH IT. tIE THE END OF THE SOCK, AND HEAT IT IN THE MICROWAVE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND PLACE ON THE SORE SPOTS. I HAVE MADE THOSE MANY TIMES BEFORE I BOUGHT THE BED BUDDIES. Just thought I would share...... resize Tongue

Life is a mystery. It is a gift.
Don't dare miss even a moment of it.
Yesterday was a lesson, today is a prayer,
Tomorrow would mean nothing,
If I can't find you there !
