Alcohol? Does it make anyone's fibromyalgia worse

I have notice after consuming alcohol my pain is worse and I feel sick…anyone else have this issue?

i think everyone is different. for me when i got sick with CFS and all the rest that came after i was too sick to drink or smoke, not that i did anyway. Just saying everything made me sick. all the best to you and BIG HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGs

Thanks I don’t drink often but notice the last 2 times I felt awful. .Geesh can we catch a break!

Sadly not. I do use alcohol to help me sleep better. Anyone else find this works?

I used to enjoy the occasional glass of red wine but found that I was much more achy the next day, so I gave it up. I have a beer once in a blue moon and it doesn’t seem to affect me. I agree we are all different but it does seem alcohol does act as a trigger for a lot of people. Hugs!

Hi, just wanted to say that I too no longer have alcohol of any kind. I used to go out for a drinks with my co workers after work or have wine with dinner. Then I noticed that my pain was getting worse when I did. Either it was when my fibromyalgia really kicked in or the change in meds by my new Dr. He also told me my uric acid was high so no more drinks with the girls. I still have flares but it's much worse if I have wine.

Enough hooch and i feel good,but Never mix alcohol with acetametaphine as it will ruin your liver!
