An in-depth guide on Fibromyalgia, covering its symptoms, causes, treatments, and tips for managing this chronic condition effectively.
Medical professionals roll their eyes at the thought of them. I am interested in opinions from both sides.

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…

No wool, cashmere, or other animal fibers. When they are cut, they…
Not all Rheumatologists (especially if they had been trained some years earlier and belong to the older generation) believe in Fibromyalgia. Even if they “believe”, not all are comfortable with managing patients with Fibromyalgia for diverse reasons. One very common reason (which doctors only admit to other doctors) is that Fibromyalgia patients are generally difficult (I sympathize with those patients) as they are generally mistrustful of doctors in general after all their bad experiences with…
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…

This can be a difficult question to answer because fibromyalgia affects everyone in differing ways; however, there is one overarching thing that makes it worse, not moving. Although it can feel horrific to move at times, not being active will only make things worse. On really bad days all I can muster is walking my dog 10–20 minutes 3–4 times in the day. It’s not a lot but it helps. I’ll also do light stretching…
