After I was diagnosed, I was told that it wasn't progressive, and yet my symptoms have gotten worse over time, and new ones have appeared. If this isn't a progressive disease, then why is it getting worse over time?

Definitely a progressive disease! As you say symptoms worsen over time ! Pain is so much worse now , unbearable at times!

Although fibro isn't a progressive disease, several people seem to have symptoms that have worsened over time. Whether that's a progression of fibro or our ability to tolerate less as we age is something needing further research. Speak to your doctor about your concerns about your symptoms worsening. Hope you find relief soon. 💜

A sign of the times! You can't believe much of what you hear or read. But you can believe what you see and feel. My two cents says "progressive".

Mine got better for a while...about a year. Then i lost it . Back to being stuck in bed in loads of pain. Its been 11 years of this and not much progress, if anything new symptoms. And i hear menopause will make it even worse ☹️
