Understand Fibromyalgia flares, their symptoms, common triggers, and effective strategies to manage and reduce flare-ups for a better quality of life.
I saw an answer from a physician, but mine comes from personal experience from fibro (8 years and counting). It’s not a simple answer, unfortunately. Fibromyalgia, for me, is a reactive condition. What that means for me is that I have a constant level of pain that is my day-to-day pain level. It’s usually somewhere about a 4 or a 5. If it’s a little lower, that’s a fantastic day, but I can survive with…
Diagnosed 10 years ago. Every day is a new mystery I am ridiculously picky about my clothes, since mild to moderate Allodynia is one of my Fibromyalgia symptoms. No sleeves of any fabric, soft fleece if I need a jacket. No bra. Between allodynia and costochondritis? Let them tiddies sag. I like breathing with less pain and not getting rashes. Screw the rules. No wool, cashmere, or other animal fibers. When they are cut, they…
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2015 and have been finding ways to keep going! Well, let’s look at this logically. When a person goes missing alien abduction is not on the police’s mind. At no point in their investigation does a detective state “should we not consider alien abduction.” When they have completely exhausted all areas of questioning they have to move on and they leave the case as an open “cold case.” Click…

In addition to chronic pain throughout my body, I am always tired. Sometimes I am so tired that my husband has to help me up the stairs and into bed. Then, every day around 3:00 – give or take a half an hour – I have to try to live with fibro fog. It’s actually what it sounds like. In the late afternoons, it feels like someone has pulled a gauze bag over my head.…
Fibromyalgia did NOT ruin my life, but when I tell you what it has cost me thus far, you will think I’m mistaken. And the worst thing of all, after being able to proudly say that I am a nurse, I can no longer legally say it. I went on full disability in 2015 because just remembering a doctor’s order was impossible, or a diagnosis, or a name! Maybe it’s an inner me, I really…
I realize that Fibromyalgia doesn’t affect everyone the same way. I don’t think I suffer as much as some people do. Having said that, there are things that I have done that make it better. When I was first diagnosed in 1987, I started exercising, at the gym and walking. It took care of almost all my pain. 12 or so years later, the chronic fatigue kicked in and everything got worse. I took naproxen,…
Bless your heart! I would say to you to get a notebook dedicated to writing down everything you eat and how you are feeling every day. Write down your pain levels and fatigue levels and how your food affects you. If any foods cause you to have abdominal pain eliminate them from your diet. Additionally, stop all sugar except in the form of fresh whole organic fruit. This is because I believe that fibromyalgia is…

There are periods when I’m cold and can’t warm up a hot bath or shower…. Then there are periods I’m hot and can’t cool down- yep as cold of a shower…
