They are easing up some, finally. Thanks for your concern! Yes, I have heard it is a fibro symptom as well, and they are almost always slightly tender and swollen for me. It was worse for about a week. I'm concerned about taking antibiotics because I did two strong courses of them just a few months back, when I had cellulitis in my shoulder, plus I was using a prescription strength topical antibiotic solution at the same time. I'm afraid that's too much for my system in a short time. I feel the flu and pneumonia shots may have lowered my resistance to getting ill in the first place, but may have prevented me from getting sicker than I did. I need to call the doctor anyway, because I have some questions about herbal remedies. I was at the chiropractor Monday, and there was a brochure recommending a combination of valerian, passion flower, and magnesium as a natural analgesic and muscle relaxant. I need to find out if it's safe to take these supplements, but I would probably want to do each one individually instead of taking a combination supplement. Betta Sue |
