Can One Travel Overseas?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I want to travel and I just have enough concerns in my regular life. If I can do one major activity, like going outside, for about 3 hours, I can handle it. But the next day I pay. Does seems futile to travel, to not be able to do things..... But, Can people ever travel overseas or far distances on planes, trains, etc.? Please let me know. It is about 10 hours in all. Thank you.

I'm Having Horrible Neck Pain With Severe Limited Range Of Motion. Any Suggestions For Relief?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?
