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?
That’s awful! Absolutely unacceptable! I’ve been there and I’m glad you are no longer in that situation anymore. Should have had him thrown in jail. 😡
In the past several months,I have been having mood swings,and very short temper.it seems like I'm quick to anger,and very intolerant of people.that's just not normal for me....is it part of having fibro?

I dread the holidays. I am always the hostess for a huge family. My mama had 12 kids and 10 of us are still here. They help a lot but I can't seem to face another holiday season.
Excellent news! Yes, ask for help.
I have been hearing people talk about a lack of oxygen to the brain being a cause of inflammation, etc. I've seen where some say hyperbaric oxygen can cure fibromyalgia. So as I looked for ways to increase oxygen to the brain (exercise is certainly one), I find where low blood pressure will decrease oxygen to the brain. Wow, I have low blood pressure. The other night it was 81/60, though it is usually 90/70. Do any of you have consistently low blood pressure? Cause maybe this is one path to… read more
I've thought about trying Hyperbaric Chamber but insurance won't cover it arghhhh

I know this question got asked over a year ago, but I just want to re-flag it. Anyone else experience burning mouth pain from Fibro? Physical therapy has helped me a decent amount (by jumpstarting the nerves with a machine called an "Acuscope") but I am curious what others have done. I've had it for 7 months now and it is the worst pain I've ever felt. I don't take medications other than supplements so I know it's not a side effect. Any help would be appreciated!
@A MyFibroTeam Member the only thing that has helped me is "body scan" meditation focusing only on the mouth. it doesn't make the pain go away but it makes the area that is in pain smaller/shrinks the… read more
