Members enthusiastically confirmed that fibromyalgia pain often moves to new sites after even minor physical contact or everyday activities, with many describing how blood pressure cuffs, blood draws, haircuts, and vacuuming can trigger pain that lasts for days and spreads in a domino effect to surrounding areas.
