    Flare ups and work

    I am in the middle of a flare up right now and it is starting to affect my concentration at work. How do I deal with work when all I can think about is the back and leg pain and is it time to go home so I can crawl in bed? I have decided to talk to my boss before he has a talk with me about it.

    I'm new here

    Hi! My name is Linda and I was given a fibro diagnosis at the beginning of May. I believe this is something I've been dealing with for awhile though (as I'm sure it is for most people that finally get the diagnosis). For me, getting the diagnosis was a big relief. I certainly wasn't looking to...

    Do we share pain spots?

    I'm really curious as to if anyone shares the same pain spots as me or has experienced them before ... Right now, I'm having a flare up in my hand and my collar bone. Left side. Never have I had flare ups in those specific spots before. Also, my biggest trigger point is my chest. I always have...

    FM screwing up my entire night!

    I rarely ever need to vent like this, but tonight has just been so frustrating. My whole entire DAY has been frustrating. Normally, I can deal. Take my meds and chill out when I'm having days like this. Sleep a lot, etc. Well, tonight I wanted to work. I'm a webcam model and can work at any...

    Emotional Stress and Flare Ups

    Has anybody notice that any emotional upheaval may lead to a flare-up of symptoms? I just lost an evening part-time job. I should have seen the handwriting on the wall because there was less and less work over these past two months. However, suffering the emotional stress is the same even if...

    So Much Pain, Even In My Toes- What's your worst flare-up?

    As we all know yesterday was Father's Day and of course I'm the only good cook in the family. I spent a few hours cooking dinner and put on my brave face, when my body is actually screaming in pain. After cooking a big meal I'm in too much pain to eat and the flare up comes. I really hate...

    Acclimating to a new climate? Rainy?

    Hello - I have been dealing with FMS for many years now. I have typically lived in a dryer state at a higher altitude. I have been priced out of the city where I lived and now have to find a new home. My mother would like me to live closer to her, but the area where she lives is not going to...

    No sympathy from daughter

    I am probably going to sound like I am rambling, so I apologize in advance, I just need to get this off my chest. Let me start with background... I have been suffering silently with this for many, many years. A couple of years ago I couldn't take it anymore when after work every day I would...

    I need a hug...

    Since being on this site, I have been replying to posts, trying to encourage others, and things like that. I did not want to come to this board so soon, but... I have HAD IT with pain! It has robbed me of so much time I will NEVER get back, so much LIFE I am not living! And by the way, the road...
