Is Fibromyalgia Really Not Progressive?

I’m so sorry, it’s so misunderstood, I tell me pain dr. To give me tramadol. It helps a little if you want I can send you some

Disease is progressive not fibro, fibro can be given as a false diagnosis in many ankylosing spondylitis cases and arthritis

In my experience, I agree. I think it would be better for people to frame it as not visibly degenerating (i.e. how arthritis can cause visble change to bone structure) rather than not degenerating period. I definitely think and have found that fibromyalgia can get worse over time in terms of pain, fatigue, mobility, etc. I used to mostly only deal with pain and intense pain in certain areas, but overtime that has expanded to other symptoms beyond pain people don't talk about enough and caused intense pain everywhere. I've always (and still hold) that my wrists/hands and neck/back are the worst, but on bad days I'm considering a cane, something inconceivable to me 2 years ago

Same thing is happening to me! Sending love your way ❤️

I feel the exact same way and I would venture to guess those who say it's not progressive (or even autoimmune related, for that matter) have never experienced it. I will be praying you are able to find some relief. Hang in there!
