Every so often I get achy all over my body and I get extremely nauseous, it feels like the flu, but I’m pretty sure it’s from Fibro because I never have a fever and no one else in my house gets sick.

Members overwhelmingly validated the experience of flu-like symptoms during fibromyalgia flares, describing intense body aches, extreme nausea, and debilitating fatigue without fever as a common and deeply frustrating reality of the condition. Several members shared specific triggers including weather changes, physical exertion like housework or bathing, and seasonal transitions, with recovery times ranging from days to a full month depending on flare severity. A recurring theme was the exhausting nature of living with constant pain, the challenge of distinguishing flares from actual illness, and the importance of pacing oneself while holding onto hope for better days ahead.

Now and then , yes. Every seasonal change I get quite achy, though no nausea. I do have the nausea very once in a while though.

It is from fibromyalgia I get it very often in fact was like it when my sister came this afternoon I'd had a bath before hand and until taking that felt okish. But then all of a sudden I felt all the energy flow out of me I felt very nauseous extremely achey and very weak. I get it quite often after baths and showers ect sometimes worse than others just as if I'm coming down with the flu. Can be after I've done too much housework ect or walked too far. In the early days of my fibromyalgia it never seemed to go away and I felt like I was constantly sickening for something plus couldn't control my body temperature and felt like I was shivering inside. Now I'm like that when my body muscles ect get tired.

I get it when it's a true flareup. Takes about a month to recover.
