Dealing with Fibromyalgia and Work: Seeking Advice

Thanks!

I don't know about you, but I've learned that both my fibro and my migraines have environmental and food triggers. Learn to listen to your body. Some foods are not worth the next day's pain, or are going to have to be when you can save up for the rest time. Strong weather fronts can trigger some people too. It is slow going, but you'll find your balance. Hang in there fellow CA dude! (I say in the old-school, gender-neutral form)

I found out recently that a lot of the chronic pain of Fibromyalgia can flare up due to stress. My ADHD and OCD were feeding into each other and caused my anxiety and depression. Adding chronic pain and fatigue to that made it worse. Sometimes doctors fail to see or even investigate the WHY when we feel these ways emotionally. Then they prescribe you a medication really just for the diagnoses caused by a bigger issue. It’s like putting a Bandaid over a gushing wound. It may alleviate but will never really stop the vicious cycle.
