I hope that you are feeling better today and have been able to get an advocate to help you get local care and support and figure out if you are financially and physically able to move back to New York State if that is your choice.

Try to do a little bit of exercise in bed so that your knee muscles are moving and keeping strong.

Get yourself a cup of tea or coffee and try to sit up and watch TV for a short time or just be seated.

Sending you hugs and positive energy.
We are all here for you.

Fibromyalgia can affect the body in many different ways, and symptoms can vary from person to person. They may ease up during remission and then return or worsen during flare-ups.

- Stiffness or numbness
- Headaches
- Jaw pain or locking (TMJ)
- Skin tenderness or lumps under the skin

Cognitive symptoms (Fibro Fog):
- Memory problems
- Difficulty focusing or concentrating
- Trouble processing information or finding words

General symptoms:
- Debilitating fatigue, even after rest
- Sleep difficulties
- Anxiety or depression
- Digestive issues like bloating or constipation

A MyFibroTeam member described the fatigue well: "The fatigue can be relentless sometimes." Another shared about pain: "Unbelievable pain and soreness. I want to sleep, but my skin and muscles hurt too bad."

Symptoms can get worse with cold, stress, fatigue, or lack of movement. Talking to a rheumatologist or healthcare provider about managing these symptoms is always a good step.
