My fibro has become worse every year. I had read somewhere that fibro was not a progressive illness, but I think it probably is.
I’ve had fibromyalgia for more years then I care to remember yes it gets worse on function with age we don’t bounce back as well then put fibromyalgia on top and it’s got to the point of impossible to balance I’m at that point where my fibromyalgia decides my day
Yes, for me it has been over 10 years since I was diagnosed due to chronic hip pain.. since then, it’s spread, and this year can add restless leg syndrome and in the past month, it’s been migraines. Hate this disease, amd am often unable to even get out of bed. Think it’s different for each of us.
Not for me. It’s a combination of how well I manage diet exercise sleep meds stress etc. when I manage those factors well Fibro gets better. However today my osteoarthritis was kicking my butt! But I know the barometric pressure is dropping and it will improve once it starts dropping. Plan to sleep alone in downstairs bedroom to sleep better. Jan I really think the factors I mentioned are key at least for me. Take care and don’t lose heart! Hugs. Love you
Same here...
