You are definitely not alone in this. Many MyFibroTeam members experience periods of being bed bound or largely housebound due to fibromyalgia symptoms like severe pain, fatigue, and restlessness — especially at night.
One MyFibroTeam member shared that their pain and exhaustion made it nearly impossible to keep up with Show Full Answer
I am not bed bound, at least not yet, but I do spend quite a bit of time in bed as it helps with my back and neck pain, as well as hips, knees and ankles. Plus,I can't sit in a chair, even a recliner, much more than 45 minutes to an hour without quite a bit of pain in my hips, sciatica and back. I also can't stand or walk for too long either, generally 15 to 20 minutes. Then I have to sit down or lay down. This is why I say, not yet. Because, if something doesn't change, I may end up there. I had a broken left leg knee in 2022, and it never healed right , due to a torn meniscus. Now both my knees are very bad and painful because of osteoarthritis. Anyways, I do feel bad for your need to be bed bound. I'm sure that can't be easy. 😖
Not right now, but have been before. It's one of the worst things about fibromyalgia. Doesn't happen as often now. Had to change a lot of foods, basic habits, and stay on routine as much as possible. Off routine would cause me to be bed bound for days at a time.
Been there sometimes just from over doing things. I will get so bad I am in bed for 1-2 days with leg and back pain or migraines. I have to check myself not always easy.
Me too.
