It is pain that starts at your bones like electric needles being in your bones. Then it works it's way out to skin a pain that feels like your muscles and tendons are being stretched and pulled apart. It can also make you not want anything to touch or graze your skin cause it burns stings can feel like razors slicing Into you. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!!!!

When pain is so bad I'm bed bound... obv we have pain everyday, but it's normally manageable, I class a flair up as the times when the pain isn't managable x

I have all these symptoms but my episodes that i have that always last for 3 days, I was wondering if it,s anything to do with my fibro. I just can,t get out of bed at these times, I can,t eat or drink and I just sleep. I go hot and cold but I don,t get a fever. My head always sweats, not just when I have these episodes but at random times.
