Members reassured someone newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia that constant pain and burning sensations in muscles are common experiences, with many sharing that they live with chronic pain at varying levels daily and that flare-ups can intensify symptoms. Several members provided a comprehensive list of fibromyalgia symptoms including brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, restless legs, and sleep issues, emphasizing that not everyone experiences all symptoms but that understanding the full scope helps with self-advocacy and medical conversations. A recurring theme was the comfort of being believed and understood by others who live with the same condition, with members encouraging newcomers to stay engaged with the community and seek medical guidance when symptoms feel uncertain or overlap with other conditions.

@AnnieLoogan - It's normal. Let me just give you an outline I found on Fibromyalgia when I first came down with it.

Widespread body pain.anxiety, brain fog, depression, dizziness, dry eyes, dry mouth, ear ringing, fatigue, headaches,IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) impaired memory, irritable bladder, joint rash,muscle pain, restless legs, skin rashes, sleeplessness,vision issues, weight gain and itching all over,including the scalp.

Now --you may never get any of these --but it is an outline of the things that could happen as a result of Fibromyalgia.

This website is fantastic. Be sure to read each post. You will get a better knowledge of what is going on in your body..

All of us have had Fibro and we are here to help folks like you who are just being diagnosed with this disease.

Oh, it's normal! I wish it wasn't!i remember so little! Have you heard of Fibro Fog? I told my husband yesterday that I feel like I can't think beyond my eye balls πŸ‘€? Definitely can't drive when I'm like that. I read that some strong tea helps. Take care πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡

Informative. If no one else in our lives understand what Fibromyalgia is, at least we can understand and that understanding gives us control! It's not all in my head! That gives me confidence in myself. Thank youRhonda74βœŠβœŠπŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

@A MyFibroTeam Member - Yes, Honey, that is Fibro. I will give you a list of the different things that could happen when you have Fibromyalgia:

Anxiety, brain fog, depression, dizziness, dry eyes, dry mouth, ear ringing, fatigue, headaches, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) impaired memory, irritable bladder, joint pain, muscle pain, restless legs, skin rashes, sleeplessness, visual issues, widespread pain, weight gain and itching all over including the scalp.

Now - - this does not mean you will get all of these - -but it does give you an idea of some of the things that one with Fibromyalgia might go through.

I would like someone to tell me why there are so many people coming down with it lately? It seems like an outburst of this illness with both men and women. At one time it seemed like only women would get it, not any more..
