My wife and I haven’t been on vacation for the last 15 years. How do people with fibromyalgia pain go on vacation? She’s wanting to take a group tour bus trip and I see myself being alone with strangers while she has one good day three bad days and never comes out of a motel room.

I need a stretching type class because I'm so bad at doing things to help my situation at home. My thigh muscles are much tighter than any others and it causes my knee caps to pull up. I have trouble with lounges and various other positions but when I stretch it helps.

I began getting a sore neck about three weeks ago it has since become unbearable. I'm not currently on any fibro meds and am really struggling with this. The pain is now causing headaches and anxiety issues. It feels as though my neck is swollen. I have been under a ton of stress so I'm not surprised I'm flaring! It's difficult to turn my head! Has anyone else ever experienced this and what did you do to ease the symptoms?

Anyone with this problem?

The crown of my head gets really sore and throbbing. If I take my Topomax before the head ache starts it can block the headache. Is this part of fibro?

After living relatively a normal life with FM for 30 years, my disabling flare-up coincided with menopause. I would like to hear from others that had similar experiences. Life was turned upside down for me by mother nature, genetics, and this elusive illness. Still grappling with the drastic change.

Also, I have been told by my physician that how FM affects aging is relatively unknown. Some studies say it ages the body 10-20 years faster - but that is inconclusive. I also know that the… read more
