It is hard to say "good" and "morning" in the same sentence!
When I wake up it's like a ton of bricks has been placed on my limbs and my neck. I wake up so stiff and achy and tight. I used to jump right out of bed before these sx all started and have a good stretch.
Now when I try to stretch, everything just cracks. It's horrible. My hips and shins BURN. It feels like I had a 2 hour workout the night before, but I didn't, I am too weak to workout.
I also have terrible pressure headaches in the back and top of my head, I guess they are like tension headaches because the headaches I am used to, not related to lyme are bad headaches in the temples.
When I was laying still last night trying to sleep, my leg shot up, like a spasm. I thought I was dreaming it, but I'm pretty sure it happened.
Anyone feel this way? Have a good day, Michelle

pru,
Yes, I'm like this 24/7. I don't get much sleep, but rising out a chair takes a few minutes to get my legs going etc.
You explained it quite good!
Pru, please do not use ALL caps for topic headings; it's considered shouting at us ok.
You can edit/pencil icon your post anytime when you bring up your ORIGINAL POST, not replies, and change the heading; you might try this to get used to it. It's not hard or timeconsuming. Thanks Pru.

I wake up stiff and achy and go to sleep stiff and achy.
I used to get headaches.. For me mostly when I herxed.
The pain was much more intense a year ago and the headaches were more intense and much more frequent.
With treatment symptoms eventually fade.

Pru, I'm copying/pasting some info here on enlarging fonts, etc. for easier reading for us. Welcome to the "vision problem" club like me!
Topic: enlarging the print to read .. several choices bettyg Frequent Contributor Member # 6147 posted 28-03-2006 12:43 AM
Scott Forsgren had sent me a PM concerning eye issues since he knew I had lower vision, and wanted to share an article he'd read with me. He asked if I were aware of several choices, and I responded:
These 2 ways work the best for me:
1. view, text size, LARGEST 2. use mouse WHEEL and control key to enlarge/decrease size of font.
Another member, dadof2 & I can't remember his "nickname", said to go to the accessibility thru program, etc. for MAGNIFIER, but that makes things very BLURRY to me. So options 1 & 2 work the best. (Look at Scott's example below, this is covered in there!)
Was there still another way Scott? Again, thanks for thinking about me. Bettyg, Iowa
SForsgren Member # 7686 posted 27-03-2006 12:13 AM It had these suggestions: =========================
1) Start, Programs, Accessories, Accessibility Wizard to enlarge icons and text on the screen
2) Right click on the desktop, properties, Appearance, and increase the font size
3) Start, Programs, Accessories, Accessibility, Magnifier. It is a pretty cool little program that makes everything your mouse moves over appear much larger.
4) Start, Programs, Accessories, Narrator
I hope that some of these tools are helpful for you. Be well, Scott

FYI, for those with lower vision, I would suggest printing the above suggestions so you can try them out to see what works for YOUR eyes.
Thanks again Scott for sharing. I'm going to post this on Treepatrol's newbie links so he can add to his extensive list of good info.
