I've ALWAYS had problems with jeans growing up and my mom just thought it was sensory issues. I was able to wear them for a while pretty comfortably but lately it feels like my skin is on FIRE. or like it's just all ripping off. Does anyone else experience this? And is there a way to be more comfortable?
I love wearing sweatsuits.
My opioids has not been working and I think its bec of the big change in weather at the moment. Does this happen to you? I really don’t want to take more pain meds and still be in pain.
I use high thc and cbd for some pains, ,gabapentin for nerve pain, Cymbalta for back pain and depression.
Hope you find some relief 😌
I’ve been getting so cold randomly. My feet and fingers, plus my back. It doesn’t matter that I’m wearing winter clothes plus warm socks. Is this part of FM?
I have more of a problem getting to hot. I have a friend with fibro and she gets cold quickly.
Don't know whether it's just me. Sometimes my skin gets a tingling sensation and feel uncomfortable in jumpers, trousers and tops I have worn before and have to take it off and other times I can wear . Does anyone else have the same issue?
I have been getting this for awhile now. It started with wool for me and it's progressed onto practicality everything even soft stuff. I'm finding it really hard to deal with. Along with the itching… read more
This morning I tested positive for Covid. I've not got a temperature but I do have the sore throat. I'm not sure if the aches I've got are more to do with Fibro or if it's down to Covid. Is this the worst it gets or do we get worse symptoms with having Fibro? Had anyone else had it and could they tell me what sort of time scale I'll be looking at for recovery. I'm full time carer for my Hubby and can't really do to be out of sorts for too long. Many thanks all.
Love n Hugs.

Thank you so much for all your lovely replies. It was 11 days before I got the negative result. I went straight back to my usual routine but now my Fibro is playing up terribly. After a day away at… read more
I traded in my power suit for pajamas and a robe this year. I’m still worth something, I’m still happy and I’m still making my small dent in this world.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! At night I go through 3 - 4 pillows and must change my night clothes, its quite bad during the day also (to the point of being embarrassment). Sometimes my sheets are soaked from my ankles to my head. I can actually see the out line of my body.
Yes, it's terrible.
Does anyone else think a fleece lined compression pajama would be great for the days when everything hurts
depends how sensitive your skin is
Has anyone heard of a weighted blanket? What was your experience ? Was it helpful?
Weighted blankets will not work for me as my feet are very sensitive. Most of the time I have to wear socks as covers on my feet hurt. I end up pulling the covers up so that my feet out stick out.
I don't go outside as the sun and heat are my enemy. If I go out to get in the air conditioned car, I must wear long sleeved tops and long pants. I have to also wear sunglasses year round. I stay… read more
