    What does your fibro feel like?

    I have not given acupuncture a shot yet but am definitely planning to. I have a friend who is dealing with myelofibrosis and has heard of people healing themselves with acupuncture and have sworn acupuncture was the reason. I really appreciate the responses to this post. Hearing how you all...

    What does your fibro feel like?

    I really appreciate everyone sharing your individual symptoms, feelings, and experiences dealing with fibro. It's uncanny for me to peel back all these layers of symptoms I've been dealing with and discover, "Oh, that's fibro too!" Everyone one of your posts has something I relate to and live...

    How do you explain what fibro feels like?

    Exactly! I tell my wife that when I wake up every morning that I feel like I drank a fifth and got in a bar fight. I almost have to look in the garage to see if my car is there (joke). But I do feel like my body was borrowed by someone who drove it like a rental and gave it back right before I...

    What does your fibro feel like?

    You really nailed it there. I'm trying to help my wife see the fragility in herself in the defensive posture she takes toward nearly everything in life and to see that a change toward the positive would really help her enjoy her life and let her soul breath a whole lot more than it does with the...

    Saved by a caffeine pill

    A Alcohol flattens me like a pancake. It's amazing how many times I have had to learn that lesson. Drinking alcohol makes me feel so great and gives such relief from my symptoms for a couple hours and then I suffer the consequences which are about three days of pain. I have cut out sugar...

    How do you explain what fibro feels like?

She came back from her mother's house yesterday pretty upset that her mother was declining in health and never going to change. She saw how negative...

    What does your fibro feel like?

    Most importantly the threads your hyperlink directed me to illustrated the degree to which family members are just denying the fact that fibromyalgia is a thing, or that the diagnosis is correct, or are just not accepting it and thinking that it will get better somehow. I tried to explain to my...

    What does your fibro feel like?

    Your post was very enlightening. I have read a few of the threads in your hyperlink and was surprised at the degree to which others are suffering; I am still pretty functional in comparison. I feel like a lightweight complaining about my fibro when others can't even walk. It's hard to get...

    Saved by a caffeine pill

    I had read that caffeine was very bad for fibromyalgia and could touch off a spell of fibro pain? I have been avoiding it, I guess I haven't found my own triggers yet.

    How do you explain what fibro feels like?

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful response :) Of course not all Germans are like my wife, I dated another German girl a decade earlier who was nothing less than sunshine and light 99% of the time. I wouldn't want to paint all Germans with a broad brush. Her Grandmother had to flee east...
