Experiencing a Flare-Up last 3 days -- In so much Pain --- I just cannot deal w/ it

Since Tues, I've been experiencing a flare-up with my problem and I'm at the point where I just cannot deal w/ it anymore.

I actually made the decision to increase the dosage to my medicine w/o my doctor's approval (it's a medicine I had been on before so, I know the dosage I am taking now is perfectly fine).

The pain has been about a 10 the last several days and has just been insane.

The pain is all throughout my arms/hands, thighs/calves and feet and now is getting worse again.

This morning, i woke up around 6am with my legs all cramped up and I was in agony for about 3-4 hours this morning before the pain subsided a little bit. Been sitting down and working online for the past 3 hours and I just went to stand up and walk and again, was all cramped up in agony though my arms are now getting cramped now.

I am not looking forward to going to bed tonight.

Jesus, You say call out and you will be there! MainiaStar is calling out! Lord, please draw a line in the spirit and tell the enemy he can't get to MainiaStar in Jesus name!

Hugs Maniastar,

I'm so sorry you're going through this. This has been my worst winter for pain. Sometimes medications can deplete our electrolytes and can cause cramping on top of what we already go through.

My husband deals with that a lot with his diabetes and his Dr has him take supplements for that reason.
So I just thought I'd offer that in case you might be low on potassium, magnesium or calcium.

What's helping me is to just keep crying out to God for His help. I'm praising Him and playing worship songs. I'm reading Psalms and other scriptures and I'm in a bible study that's about suffering of all things. Very timely.

I'm in such a fog though. Emotionally its just been so difficult for the past 3 months for me too along with the pain. I usually snap out of it, but for some reason I'm not able to shake the emotions I'm experiencing no matter what I do.

I think God is impressing on me that He's maturing me in the trust area and waiting on Him. I can't imagine what Paul went though when I read what happened to him over and over again and yet he had such a great attitude and he praised God in and through it all.

I think it's time for me to fast and pray and see if there's any strong hold of sin in my life that I'm blinded to. I just want to snuggle up to God and allow Him to reveal whatever I need to see that might be hidden within my heart that's displeasing to Him and confess it.

But it could be all is well and this is just a part of sharing in the sufferings of Christ. Anyway, I feel for you and will be praying for you!!!

I thank you all.

This morning I woke up and I actually did have a break in the pain. It went from a 10+ to about a 4 which is about my normal pain. And, my normal pain range is btwn a 3-6 on a daily basis so to feel like this after 3 full days is amazing.

But, I think I may have over done it w/ the medication yesterday. I went from taking 90 mg to taking 120mg a day and I forgot about the side effects so, now I'm dealing w/ the side effects of it. I woke up this morning feeling extremely dizzy, headache, nauseous, stomach ache. I felt so sick. I am feeling slightly better now but, still dizzy and am going to lay down for a little bit to see if i will feel better.

I am happy the pain broke but, now am hoping all this dizziness and other symptoms will also disappear..

Maybe it's the weather too though?!? On Monday/Tues, it was cold outside, maybe 30-40 degrees and yesterday and today was 70-75 degrees outside.
