Question About Leg Pain.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

So I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Two days ago I had crippling pain in both legs from my hips to my toes for roughly 15 hours of my day. Was pretty much limited to the couch the entire time since walking was a painful nightmare. That level of pain was new to me. Anyone ever have anything like that?

Coughing And Breathing
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been having problems for about 3 months now like there is a tickle in my throat. I have to cough. It's almost like I swallow and my drink goes down the wrong pipe but not that bad. It happens when I'm not drinking or eating but really bad when I take a drink also. And lately I've been noticing my breathing is a little heavier or I'm struggling more. I feel like I have bronchitis for a few minutes then it goes away. I can be sitting and it happens. Anyone experience these things?

Hello all! I am newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I'm feeling wildly overwhelmed. Does anyone have any advice, favorite books, favorite cookbooks, suggestions on where I should start? The whole thing currently feels daunting and I'm a little at a loss of where to start or look.

Thank you in advance!

If you have experienced trauma, I think The Body Keeps Score, is a good book

Coughing
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've noticed recently (over last few months) I have been getting really these coughing spells. I don't smoke. No asthma. I do have a history of chronic bronchitis. (They say that's common among Fibro Patients.) But I'm not having any other symptoms. Anyway, the other night my husband told me I had I violent attack in my sleep.
