    What does your fibro feel like?

    You are right about sleep. The pain from Fibro has changed my sleep pattern for the worse. I wonder also about yoga. Everytime I talk with my doctor about about my Fibro she tells me to do yoga and meditation. I just have to calm my mind down first to sit still and not worry, so my mind can relax!!

    What does your fibro feel like?

    You described Fibro very well. Like a concrete overcoat! I almost got teary eyed when you said you can't remember what it feels like to move without pain. Wow......you are on target with that sentence! I'm glad we all understand each other here.

    What does your fibro feel like?

    Thank you for the memory foam topper tip. I can see what you mean that the egg crate foam tips may flatten over time. I was looking at the memory foam toppers you mentioned. So hard to pick one. Then I read the comments on some and some people will say "oh this one is so soft my body just melts...

    Horrible pain from hips to ribs

    For sure I think cold weather makes Fibro worse. At least for me it does. And like you said, stress makes it worse too! Whenever I am stressed I think my Fibro gets worse. It's a terrible cycle. Relaxtation helps a lot I think! Hope you feel better.

    I feel for you. It's just the worst. You know I have pain on both sides as I said, but I see you mentioned your left side. My left side is also worse. Thank you for your reply. I hope you get relief of some kind.

    What does your fibro feel like?

    For me, my fibro makes me feel like almost every part of my body hurts. Both sides, equally. I have different levels of pain everywhere, but the worst pain is in my neck, shoulders and upper back. My ribs at the bottoms and sides also hurt, and are so tender to the touch. Also my hips, lower...

    Hip, rib and pelvic pain

    Hi Jemima, thank you so much for response! YES.....the rib pain is scary, and I actually get spasms in my hip and pelvic area. It's the worst. For sure like you said, it's a vicious cycle. The pain is stressful, so I start getting anxiety, and the worse the pain gets, especially the spasms, my...

    Hip, rib and pelvic pain

    I am new to this board but not new to Fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed about 6 years ago. My pain has gotten worse over the years and so has my stress. I think stress makes Fibro worse. Do you guys think that too? Anyway, my question is, anyone have chronic hip pain that travels to the pelvic area...
