Can fibromyalgia symptoms worsen over time even after being manageable?
Yes, fibromyalgia symptoms can change and worsen over time, even if they were previously manageable. While fibromyalgia isn't considered a progressive disease, symptoms may grow worse over time without a predictable pattern.
Most people experience disease flares when symptoms become more severe, followed by periods of remission when symptoms lessen or disappear. This unpredictable nature means you might have periods where things feel under control, followed by times when symptoms intensify.
Some MyFibroTeam members have noticed their symptoms getting worse over the years. One member shared: "What throws me off is I have had fibro for 10 years, the fatigue was never this bad, even when I had flare-ups those first two years."
The fluctuating nature of fibromyalgia means that even when you've found management strategies that work, symptoms can still vary in intensity. Working closely with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan during these changes can help you maintain the best quality of life possible.
