Wondering if anyone else has experienced this set of symptons?

How long has this been going on?

I think see a doctor.

Any likelihood you could have Lymes disease? Also, what comes to my mind is check your thyroid. I think the doctor would check for some other autoimmune markers through blood tests. I would add in a Vitamin D test for good measure. All these are blood tests. You can go to your regular GP/internist first, but if they get no answer I would see a rheumatoligist.

Sounds like Fibromyalgia a little bit. Any other symptoms? Weakness/fatigue? Nausea? Anything? How old are you?

If there’s no rash and you feel fine otherwise, I doubt it’s Lymes Disease. I don’t really hear any thyroid symptoms either to be honest. Then again, sometimes things present in strange ways.

I was having horrible tension in my back and shoulder muscles that was causing daily headaches, fatigue, chest pain, pain upon breathing, shooting burning pains into my breasts, and occasional muscle contractions. It was all anxiety. So, who knows?

My advice is to see a doctor about it.

@kitszu I’m not a doctor but have a sister and several friends with Lyme disease (I use to live 25 miles from Old Lyme, CT). My sister was bedridden and finally went through a IV drip of antibiotics for 14 days.
It can cause all kinds of long term issues.
Get to a Dr and get tested for Lyme disease.

I could think of one very nasty disease that can do that. But before you jump off to paranoia land, you should see a doctor. It can be viral or genetic in nature, but the sooner you go to the doctor the sooner you will either be able to cure it or control it better.
Whatever it is, it is affecting your nervous system. I wouldn’t fool with that by trying to take care of it at home.

@livelaughlove21 Many people don’t ever remember seeing a rash.

She does have thyroid symptoms. But, since this sounds severe and sudden I am thinking it might bensomething more complicated.

My first thought was fibromyalgia, too, especially the hand cramping with simple actions (spreading butter with a knife will do that to me). Of course, it could be any number of things, so it’s best to see your doctor.

Frequent muscle spasms might be as simple as low potassium. Drink some juice, eat a banana or baked potato, etc. Spasms in skeletal muscles along your upper torso might account for “constricted chest pains” (especially in the shower when you bend in unusual ways) but obviously seek immediate medical attention if you’re not sure it isn’t your heart. “Deep joint aches” is a common and non-specific symptom, but usually responds to anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, if that’s safe for you to take. Avoid opioids. If pain is severe seek medical attention. If you’re obese, get professional help losing weight. Hope that helps & get well soon!

I don’t think it sounds good but go straight to the doctor, you are probably worrying yourself from reading all of these comments

Weakness and fatigue, my neck, shoulders, back muscules always hurt. I’ve always carried my stress there. Ibp doesn’t help any more. I can’t think of a way I could have gotten lime disease, I guess that does’t matter, that’s not the way a non-doctor thinks. I think the on-again, off-again stuff scares me more than if it was constant.

When I was 16 years old, I always have pain on my legs, especially on the knees. My mom took me to see the doctor. And there was nothing wrong with my bones and muscles. The Dc said it was natural when I was growing up. Now the pain is gone. You’d better see the doctor, professional.
