It's so hard when people don't take it seriously especially those close to us!!

a "flare -up" happens when things begin to settle down & you have reached a level when you can have times that are easier to cope with & more balanced , through pacing yourself & resting, & then something happens physically emotionally or mentally to upset that balance & your pain etc returns with a vengeance commonly known as a "flare-up " <3 There will be days to come where you do begin to feel a bit better or a bit worse ,it's all part of this dreadful illness .Thoughts & Prayers with you <3 Bless you & your Family xxxx

That's about right with Fibromyalgia ,or should I say wrong ! The Pains you describe are all "Normal" for Fibro .There are just so many different sorts of pain unfortunately. I have been living with Fibro for well over 10 years now :( .Another thing that is debilitating is the "Fibro-Fog" where your brain just refuses to work . Please learn to Pace your self ,try not to do too much when you have a good day ,rest when you have a "flare-up", when the pain & immobility are at their worst & keep in touch for support when you can . Thoughts & prayers with you at this difficult stage of readjustment & learning how to cope .xx

Thanks for your support. I feel like I've been in this "flare up " stage for months. Probably from all the worrying and wondering. Its always a symptom or 5! I spent nearly a year thinking I was dying of a brain disease or something. I actually had a bunch of xrays today and a EMG. Hoping the results are normal. I've had so many tests and blood work and everything is "normal". It just doesn't make sense how this disease can his from science. I just don't think anyone takes me serious. It's frustrating.

Yes, yes, yes, yrs , yes etc
You will be able to separate the different symthoms.
