Can fibromyalgia make you feel like you're going to collapse, as if your body won't hold itself up?

Yes, this feeling is commonly experienced with fibromyalgia. The extreme fatigue that comes with fibro can make your body feel like it simply won't support you anymore.

Many MyFibroTeam members describe not having the physical and mental strength to do things that used to come naturally. One member shared: "The more I do the less I am able to do, it seems."

This overwhelming exhaustion is one of the core symptoms of fibromyalgia, alongside widespread pain and sleep issues. The fatigue can be so profound that it affects your ability to function normally and may leave you feeling like your body is giving out.

If you're experiencing these sensations frequently, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can help you develop strategies to manage your energy levels and symptoms more effectively.

Absolutely Trevor a few times now and it is so scary. Once I suddenly had a very quick rush of heat from head to feet and with in seconds I saved myself falling to the floor and dragging myself onto the bed.
It was so freaking scary as I’ve never had this happen to me. Never again 😭 it was awful
