sweats...

i've noticed i have sweats a lot lately. not just at night or i'd think it were hormones, but just during the normal course of my day. i wonder if anyone else has them and if it could be a side effect of: 1. hydrocodone 2. requip 3. ambien. i haven't seen sweats listed as a side effect on any of the...

fortunately i did get in with a great neuro. he was educated and helpful and talked with me a long while. he was kind and offered many options for treatment. he is also doing tests for polymyalgia and arthritis to rule those out since my mom has poly and both parents have rheumatoid arthritis. i fee...

ok, here's one from a very new-newbie!!! My 11 year old daughter brought it all back to me. Sometimes she lays in bed or on the couch just aching in her legs, near to tears. I wonder if this is the beginning for her? I can remember doing that as a child, younger than 11. I've had leg pain, cramping,...
