@Sickem personal reasons, but not strictly medical ones. basically, though, i need it pretty bad. the practice manager where i went (milan) also has fibro and has had laser and said it was fine and never caused her any flares. i've found that it's caused my neuropathy to flare at the very least, if not other pain. it may vary wildly by patient. the laser itself isnt super painful, but my skin isn't too sensitive, just kind of average? so it hasn't had too much ill effect. i also have a decently high pain tolerance so even though there is pain with it it's very much a manageable thing for me. the pain from it fades pretty quickly too, ime. i am also on gabapentin and pain is not my worst fibro symptom.
