I have fibromyalgia. I have lumps that appear at the base of the spine on both sides.

Martin

These dissolve after massage, although this process is very painful.   For 2  or 3 days after I go totally lathargic, have hot and cold sweats, feel sleepy all the time, and have some very strong stabbing pains in different parts of the body, although they only last for about 5 - 10 seconds at a time, it is very debilitating.

 

I want to know if when a muscle goes into spasm, does the fluid it retains become toxic, and once released into the system whether it does indeed poison the system until it has worked it's way through.

 

Sorry this may sound stupid, but it is what I feel is happening. I am just trying to find someone else with this problem and see if there has been any research done on it.   I cannot find any information about it on the internet.    Thank you  Dot

Hello:

 

When a muscle goes into a spasm, it goes into protection mode.  Although we are full of toxin's, the best way to eliminate them is to have a bath with Epson Salts every night.

 

The hot and cold sweats are probably from your pills, have you tried Lyrica?  I have taken it for 4 years for my Fibromyalgia and it is great,

You have Dercum's disease. Search for it and you will find useful information. You do not have painful lumps like yours with fibromyalgia but with Dercum's. Good luck. I wish someone would have told me 40 years ago.

I'm not sure about the toxins or the muscle spasms but I have tried Lyrica and I had a terrible reaction to it!  I took it 3 times and was severely itchy for a week!! But this medication is supposed to be very good for Fibromyalgia pain...just another point of view.  I really hope you find your answer...I know how frustrating it is to cope with the pain, and find a solution that works.  Good luck.
