Difference Between Fibro Symptoms And Post Covid Symptoms

Shivering When Tired?

I noticed this more over the past couple years, but when I’m really tired and try to go to bed I start shivering. I can have 3 blankets on or sweating but I still can’t stop shivering until I fall asleep. Sometimes I think it’s so bad I’m shaking the whole bed. Anyone else? Or am I crazy?

It looks like a bruise. Keep an eye on it and if it's not going away, see your doctor and see what they say about it.

Self Esteem

I know this isn't fibro related but I'm just wondering if anyone else struggles with self esteem? I've been this way all my life, but at this point in life I just wanted to finally over come it! Any suggestions?

I think anyone that has been abused in a severe way will have alot of self esteem issues. I do. I'm not as bad as I got older but it is hard not to be.
