Has anyone else's fybromyalgia gotten worse?
I feel like my fybro has gotten worse over the last 3 years. I'm worried I'll end up in a wheelchair by the time I'm 40.
My partner quit his job to look after me and my daughter. This was supposed to be short term. I really don't see him or me getting back to work. My mobility is only getting worse and my fybromyalgia symptoms just seem to be getting worse and more severe. I'm definitely in more pain than I was 3 years ago.

Do you ever get so fatigued and drained physically that you are too tired to have feelings?
Eg I don’t care about some decisions
OR I just don’t feel connected to people as strongly as usual
OR I’m upset but too tired to cry
It seems to gappen in a fibro crash that I feel so little for things and it doesn’t feel like sadness but pure exhaustion.
Sometimes the exhaustion just gets THAT bad that its like your body starts shutting down unnecessary functions. Hang in there
