Is it another symptom pf Fibro, to have painfully sensitive hearing, so much so it can be painful? I also get extremely overwhelmed, when there's too much noise, it can confuse and disorientate me, and do often have to leave the situation. A bit more of a description in my blog: https://thedorkdisorder.com/2023/05/07/auditory...
I don't know if this has anything to do with Fribo or if it's just something that's up with me? I have always disliked loud noises since I was a kid.

The CDC is recommending that people continue to wear masks even if they are fully vaccinated. They are also renewing their efforts to get unvaccinated people vaccinated.

The Delta variant is responsible for over 200% increase in hospitalizations in Missouri alone.

Regarding the unvaccinated, infectious disease physicians are describing them as incubators for new variants to develop and spread.

Please help keep yourselves and your communities safe.

This is no surprise to those of us who had been watching the news and that is that post viral fatigue is affecting more women in general, more female covid longhaulers than men, and mimics CFS.

Any reflections and experiences would be welcome to hear!

This is a very sad development and yet many of us on this site predicted this would happen, given our correlations with post viral fatigue and fibromyalgia and now with a viral based pandemic.

If you have suffered from an actual COVID-19 illness and you wouldn't mind sharing what is was like, please post here. Even if you didn't have an actual positive test result, if you are fairly sure it was COVID please post your experience. Also include what treatment you used while ill.

I am nervous about contracting COVID, but I have not had COVID or any virus or flu since being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Since I am already in a constant painful flare, this adds to my concern.

I have hot flashes and have no understanding of it. Also when the air is cold my pain will worsen, mind you when I get in my pool which is not heated the cold water gives me a pain free body.(my last swim was two weeks ago, now the pool is frozen)

I am becoming phobic about blood pressure readings. The cuff apparently causes a surge in Adrenalin from pain detection by our hyper vigilant nervous system. I have had readings of 220 / 120 routinely. Before Fibromyalgia my BP was always extremely low. It becomes extremely painful very quickly as the health carer keeps pumping up the pressure to get the last beat. This is a vicious cycle of increasing pain causing more Adrenaline which keeps increasing the blood pressure readings. Are there… read more
