How long on average does a flare up of symptoms usually last. I'm quite newly diagnosed but I m still struggling with daily fatigue. I'm taking herbal suppliments to help me get a few hours sleep and same for energy but nothing works
For me on an average of a week or two you need to make sure you are taking turmeric and make sure that you are taking a liquid b supplemental vitamin that has all of them in it and cool compress… read more
As anyone tried a weighted blanket to help fibromyalgia pain? Does it work for you?
I have one, and I honestly can't live without it! 🥰 I feel that it helps, but there are different weights, you just need to do your research and figure out which weight is best for you.
If you have had shingles in the past can this be a trigger for fibro.
I have not been diagnosed at the moment but I'm showing all the symptoms. X
I had chicken pox as a kid and shingles twice as an adult. I got the Shigrex Vaccine, it is not a live virus and shouldn’t cause shingles, though it has swollen glands and joint pain. At the time I go… read more
I was diagnosed with this after EMG nerve conduction test.
Has anyone been diagnosed with this or have heard of it?
My primary care dr has never heard of it?
I have never heard of it. Googled and found that my autonomic dysfunction may be related to fibromyalgia. Thanks for sharing.
Is anyone under the care of a pain management doctor? Does it help? Is it worth it?
I am! I feel like he’s the only one who truly understands
I had arthritis pain seen I was 29 yrs old and was just told that I have fibro this year. My joints and muscles get stiff and ache. I have arthritis 97% of my body. I also have nerve pain from all my surgeries I had. I'm trying to figure out if I do have fibro or not.

Does anyone else have sharp nerve signals in their brain, tinntus, mood shift, and Fibro pain at same time?
Lately, I have dealt with this arthritis (ankylosis spondylitis), arthrothopy, and periodic stints of mobility issues when this all impacts me.
I know the holidays and year end work is triggering stress and anxiety to compound all of these issues.
I guess what I am trying to ask is which specialist should I go to first, or should I use my PCP to direct me? Too many darn things… read more
I have spondylosis along with the fibro and my gp referred me to a really good pain management doctor who gives me epidural injections. They last about 2-3 months and have really helped.
Hi! Wondering if anyone experiences electrical shocks throughout their body? I get them so badly my body actually moves on it's own. If I get one in bed, my whole body raises off the bed. Once, while drinking a glass of water I got a shock and hit the glass into my teeth. No broken teeth...that time and I hate drinking out of plastic! :)
I went to a MAPS clinic, just once...and when I told the PA about the above, using the bed as an example, I was told it was probably static electricity in… read more
