Does anyone have this? Example: I can have muscle or nerve pain in my left side for a few days. Then I wake up one morning, it's gone, but my thigh muscles will feel weak and overworked. That may leave in an hour or a few days or whatever, and my neck and shoulders will spasm. And then some days I have no pain, just feel dizzy and brain fog and tired. Help!! I feel like an anomaly.

Members validated the experience of fibromyalgia symptoms shifting unpredictably, sometimes daily or even hourly, with pain moving from one body part to another while anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog often remain constant. Several members described the emotional toll of never knowing what tomorrow will bring, feeling like a hypochondriac when explaining constantly changing pain to loved ones, and struggling to distinguish real pain from fibro pain. A recurring theme was the frustration of symptoms that never truly leave but rotate through the body in an exhausting, unpredictable loop, met with community reassurance that these shifting symptoms are typical of fibromyalgia and that no one is alone in this experience.

Yep, your not alone. Things change sometimes hour by hour. Hang in there.

I know how frustrating it is when the pain seems to move around ☹️ I sometimes feel like a hypochondriac when my husband asks how I'm feeling, it's hard for those around us to understand our 'constantly' moving pain.

Yes. This happens to me a lot. I will have an extreme painful weeks in my shoulders and neck and then all of a sudden that stops for a bit, but my lower body acts up worse. All in all, I have pain everywhere all of the time, but some days one part of my body feels worse than others.
