Has Your Fibro Gotten Worse?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Plant City, FL

I've had fibro since 2009 and for the past few months it is worse on a daily basis. I did a Google search and supposedly it does not worsen with time. Maybe the increased pain I have is age related. I don't know. Anyone else think their fibro has worsened?

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt man it has gotten worse over the years. The flares are worse and last longer. I was also told that it would not get worse and that it was as bad as it would get. But that doesn’t seem to be the case

Yes it gets worse. Ask any fibromyalgia person. I'm also getting older so the combination is hell. If you're young do all the things on your bucket list NOW, cuz you might never get to do them later.

I had also read that it didn't worsen. Now, my research (and personal experience) shows that it DOES worsen over time.

I was told it did not increase also. But I know it’s hundreds times worse than it was in the beginning. When I have flareups like I have now I can’t walk due to bad knees and just the Fibro throughout the body. I’ve been like this since the day before Thanksgiving

It’s progressively worsen for me since 2yrs ago. Making it very at times to get out. I will say that Medical Marijuana has helped me cope with pain anxiety and depression. Along with other meds.
