I see lots of discussion and helpful suggestions about dealing with the pain of fibro, and I do appreciate those. However, for me the fatigue is the most debilitating part. Some days I wake up feeling decent, but just taking a shower wears me out and I need a nap.
garthdog2, I am 78. I was diagnosed 8 months ago. All I can say is that at 77, I didn't feel the way I do now as far as energy level & fatigue.
What can I do to help with my foggy brain? I'm a nurse and get really embarrassed when I can't think of my words.
I found taking 200mg of coenzyme Q10 at breakfast helped me be more alert. I find talking easier now as I pause a lot less as I am confused a lot less. Hope this helps.
I believe pain can cause depression.
I belive that pain limits what you can do. With those limits comes self worth issues and can also cause isolation.
What are your thoughts on the subject?

Now the pain has spread through my entire body including my wrists, ankles and feet. Every morning when I wake up I dread getting out of bed because I am so stiff and sore, my pain level is a 10. My back, shoulders and neck are extremely sore and tender ALL the time, and I need to rest with my heating pad a few times throughout the day. This was not the case when I was… read more

I have recently had a very painful flare up centered in my foot. It often happens that my flare ups are centered in specific areas. Is this common for others as well?
Fibro used to do that to me but because of arthritis and whatever they said was pseudo gout? Plus stupidity getting a knee replacement by an incompetent, . Fibro now
Hangs mostly in the knees and also… read more
Just wondering how many of you have been diagnosed with either or both ..... and was it before or after your fibro diagnosis?
Also, any of you who haven't been tested .... are you curious to whether you have it and will you consider asking your doctor for a test?
