Male Vs. Female
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I belong to other groups for Fibro that are all male. Are there any men in this group? I like to get different perspectives.

I also use flexeril at night and it works for me too. I take nortryptaline during the day, but it makes me sleepy. Was on oxycodone, but I don't take it because it upsets my stomach, so right now… read more

Dating With Fibro? My Advice. Part 1 Of 2
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Look…I'm about to be real blunt here...I'm single and have also had a very hard time dating a man or even going out. My many, MANY years of experience in trying to keep a job and trying to date with Fibro has not been successful. Most men in general do not want to "care give" and if they do...by year two, they start to get resentful and start looking elsewhere. Trying to date is just too exhausting. Shaving my legs and washing my hair or even putting on make up causes more debilitating pain… read more

Pain Frequently
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have had fibromyalgia for about 4 years, that i know of and i honestly feel it has progressed recently. I have somewhat noticed a change and just a little confused. I have noticed that while areas of my body hurts, my pain is more severe in one area more so than the others. For instance, my shoulder is killing me and the pain runs down my arm and i swear my forearm is swollen. The doctor i saw said fibromyalgia is not pain specific, but she can't find anything else wrong. I'm just… read more

My pain is often specific and I feel has progressed as well. There is still so much that doctors don’t know about fibromyalgia so it’s hard to take their word as truth. Everyone’s pain/issues are… read more

How Do I Know How Bad My Pain Is? Family Think I Am Being Over Sensitive And Lazy
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, I am diagnosed with fibro but my family still think it's all in my mind or me just being over sensitive. The thing is, I don't know if my 'pain' is as severe as many fibro sufferers. I have constant discomfort, various aches and pains, definitely the stabbing pins! But if I had to describe it I would say it feels more like an utter exhaustion and a sort of all over feeling of discomfort. I do get severe aching in my limbs on some days, and sometimes my thumb/wrist will just give out for no… read more

Maybe your family can go to your next doctor's appointment with you, I also think at some point you have to let it go and disregard what they think, as hard as that may be!!

Does Anyone With Fibromyalgia Have Body Cramps?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I get bad cramps sometimes and they’re not always in my legs. I get them in my hands, abdomen, breast bone and up and down my legs. The worse ones are from the top of my foot all the way up my shin bone to my knee. These usually happen at night and it doesn’t always help right away to get out of bed and stand up. They are so painful. Does anyone else have cramps?
