Stiff in the morning?

[Gemmal]

For the past couple of months I have been waking up in the morning so stiff! It usually eases off in a few hours.

I originally thought there was a link between taking my birth control before I go to bed , however I googled ( of course I did) and nop nothing!

What did come up though was Fibromylagia? This seems a very misunderstood disease however the symptoms are very similar to those of anxiety!

Im not sure if I worry during the night and that's why im so stiff I also have itching which starts at night and disturbs my sleep. Of course this leads me to believe I do infact have lymphoma , the disease I fear all along. However, I started itching two and half years ago...rationally I would be ill by now?

Another interesting point made was fibromyalgia patients tend to have an intolerance to alcohol in the sense that it makes pain worse, something I have dealt with for over two years ( hence the lymphoma fears).

Does anyone have some thoughts? I cant face going to my doctor with another illness lol.

the chances of me having lymphoma are low right? I hope so.

Not sure if I fancy being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia either, or it could be like the doctor said ,,, anxiety :shrug:

thanks guys,

I think it is virtually impossible you have lymphoma. It is way more likely to be anxiety or perhaps fibromyalgia (which many doctors think is caused by anxiety anyway). Itching or weird skin sensations can be caused by anxiety too...... or perhaps something really simply like a mild allergy to something in your bedding sheets?

yenool, thanks for the response! Interesting that doctors believe fibro could be caused by anxiety! the way my life has been the past two years I would not be surprised.

I don't think its the bed sheets as I lived in Australia when the itching started and it has continued in the UK, your right its probably caused by anxiety!

Thank you :)
