Dealing with Insane Fibro Pain: Need Advice

yes! my body feels like one big bruise rn. even something as simple as wearing clothes hurts bc my skin gets so sensitive when I flare up

Same i definitely associated it with the weather, this time around i was paying more attention bc of my new job.

I found that eating foods high in capsaicin, like chili peppers, can help. If you can stand the heat, they can shorten the flares.

✋ yes 😥 one thing that did help me with the all over pain was cutting out sugar. It's shocking how much sugar we consume unknowingly. Almost anything out of a box or bag has sugar. Now if I eat even a few grams of sugar (i.e. a couple pieces of bread), I'm sore all over for 3-5 days.

Was literally going thru this over the weekend. I haven’t exactly been 100% diagnosed yet but I’m more than 80% positive I also have fibromyalgia. Dr just put me on savella. Seems to be helping a little bit. But I just started taking it. On day three. When I was having an “angry pain” spell as you call it, I was completely overwhelmed and miserable. I cried and cried. Nothing seemed to help and I was at my Wits end. So I totally understand.

Pain so bad it's causing nausea and headache. Even my hair hurts. No explanation for flare ups, just get through them.

Yep, I wish I knew why.

Does anybody have the Deep pain up by their abdominal area where the gallbladder is at running to the back? Also been having stomach issues I know I have acid reflux but I also know that fibromyalgia can possibly mess with that stuff I didn't know if anybody else can relate I have had my gallbladder checked and they said it's fine so I didn't know if it was fibromyalgia?

😥

Already been there for two days straight... working on number 3. Lots of sympathy for you. Remember that it will get better.

I have it two to three times a week with the fiber plant pain I know I understand what you going through

Oof, I had that last week. It was some of the worst nerve pain I'd had in a while! It only lasted a few days for me, so hopefully yours lets up soon! I believe it was the weather changes that triggered mine.
