I was just wondering are there any people on here that stretch on a daily basics? If so, does it have an immediate impact on helping relieve the pain caused by fibromyalgia?

Not feeling well at all the last weeks, been in a lot pain and kind of sad over a loss I suffered recently (I kinda talked about that several weeks ago- not directly since didn't feel like talking about that here).

Hi there. I'm Kalli, 28 from Missouri. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Syndrome at the age of 26. It's been thought I've had it all my life. The 27th of this month I had serotonin syndrome that sent me to the hospital. My doctor is weaning me off of Cymbalta to put me on Savella...

The fibro is getting worse almost daily it seems. I no longer have so called "good" days, if I am lucky, they seem to be more like "good" moments. One moment may be tolerable but within a few minutes, I can't hardly walk. My quality of life is deteriorating rapidly. I am 48 years old, single...
Alright so I know these same questions get asked quite often and I don't mean to repeat the same old thing, but I would really like some reassurance before setting up a doctors appointment that it's "not all in my head" which has stopped me from going for the last three years now.
