Hi Everyone!
I'm new here. I have had fibromyalgia for 7 years. I don't know the terminology but this year I have had what I can only call "flare ups?" Is that the right term?
One minute I am at pain level 2, laughing, watching TV with my wife and within a half hour I am at level 8+ laying back in my recliner, TV off, soft music playing and drinking wine (my last resort as I hate alcohol). The pain lasts for hours at 8+. All I can do is sit and moan. Pain is everywhere, even my face because I am grimacing.
I take Lyrica, Tramadol and Clonazepam.
Is this "normal?"
Sincerely,
GrandpaPatrick
