Sometimes when I'm in a lot of pain physically or when I am just so fatigued or finding it hard to cope I just want to cry but I can't! I feel like it would help if I could sometimes and feel like I need to but nothing happens. I will even try to cry but it's pathetic lol when it comes to my pain or illness I can't cry but if it's anything else like a sad movie or something I can and it's the weirdest thing. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi, when I'm really bad I dry sob. No tears, but the action, if that makes sense. I know if I did cry it would actually make me feel worse, headache, puffy eyes, snotty nose etc. But when that flare passes I will cry at the drop of a hat. It's like my body knows I would feel worse if I cried during my worst pain, but will let me when I'm on the mend. Xx
Your body is a miraculous machine. Having very strong emotions can put most people with fibro into a flare. The brain will always do it's best to protect the body.
I'm so sorry you are hurting so bad. Many, many hugs and prayers. I hope you have some good days coming your way.

Thank you @A MyFibroTeam Member that makes a lot of sense!
@A MyFibroTeam Member that's really interesting!
Major depression from FM can also cause the inability to cry.
@A MyFibroTeam Member, I know just what you mean..I tear up at the least little sad or beautiful thing I see and yet when I'm in great pain , nothing ! Why I don't know and I've always been like that , I find that very strange..Would have to talk to a specialist about that but I know I won't , so I guess that's the way I am and will remain....Someone explain this to me if you can.crying in front of others is very hard too unless my heart has been broken like the loss of someone dear to me ....Wishing you better health in every way and love too 😔❤️💓❤️
