Members connected over the surprising link between sinus congestion and fibromyalgia flare-ups, with many sharing that blocked sinuses or allergy symptoms reliably signal an oncoming flare for them too. Several members described their own warning signs, including extreme fatigue, burning fingertips, red palms, collarbone pain, and sudden nasal congestion that leaves them completely exhausted within moments. A recurring theme was validation that these seemingly strange patterns are real and shared experiences, with members finding relief in knowing they aren't alone and that increased inflammation likely affects multiple body systems at once.

Perhaps it's the area of sensitivity to the increase inflammation going through your body before you get a flare.

No my symptoms are absolutely no energy, flue like symptoms, pain everywhere. Your sinus problems is probably causing you to go into flareup... Do you have an allergy?

My fingertips burn when I'm washing my hands right before & during a flare. Wonder about other people's symptoms.
