Hello,
I have recently been diagnosed with Vascular and "mixed" ie small vessel disease. I was 64 when diagnosed and am now recently 65.
My question is this.....Recently I have been suffering greatly with aching joints. My shoulders, arms. hands and numbness with pins and needles particularly when trying to sleep. I know its easy to blame this illness with everything but I am so distressed with the pain, fatigue when trying to garden (my great passion). It happens later in the day mostly.
I feel so angry that I cant do the things I used to do and enjoy (fishing, workIng) Can anyone help,advise me before I go to see a gp again, a thing which seems to bear little fruit. I feel I want to tell the whole medical profession to go to hell mostly. Is this symptom usual and is there anything I can help myself with this awful feeling of fairly constant pain and fatigue....Thankyou for listening I am not on medication by the way. I tried the rivistigmine patches and didnt get on with them and am waiting for further appointment to discuss meds in general
