Thats not good news. Oh dear.. and i thought things were going to get better over time. Not sure why i thought that. 🤔

Hi there. Yes you do get new pains in new areas and gets worse as you get older. 💜

Yes, it's as if the mind/body has a perverted/distorted amped-up memory for every boo-boo or injury you've had in your lifetime, then does a rewind and play!

Yes. I know I keep answering your questions but I feel like I have many of the same symptoms you have and also totally new ones in just the last year (had fibro for 13 years). I would also say I have more fibro days- meaning more days a year where I am symptomatic. However and conversely I feel I can control my flare ups better. I used to sort of ignore and charge ahead and then totally collapse and feel desolate and at times bedridden. I think some of the severity of my past flare-ups was worsened by anxiety and fear about what was happening to me. It took me a long time to accept the diagnosis of fibro (in fact I still wonder!) I was convinced I had something degenerative. I couldn't believe fibromylgia could cause such weird, diverse and intense symptoms without also causing obvious internal damage. I realize that it might cause damage and that there are always new things being proposed. I am always reading and trying to understand more. I am not as anxious or worried as I used to be and I sleep better. I still have sleepless scary nights but not too many. (Scary because it feels like I will spiral). I don't take any medication on a daily basis by the way. I want to wait as long as possible and maybe never because I don't want side effects and I feel ridiculously sensitive to medications so I am wary of them for me (not saying this is true for anyone else.) I think I also want to understand and try to see if I can control my symptoms through meditation, exercise, stretching, self massage, good diet and good sleep. I would say the answer so far (for me) is sort of! Ha ha. I hope your foot feels better! I hope you feel comfort somehow!
