I’m wondering if there is anyone out there in fibroland that suffers more from the Chronic Myofascial Pain than the all-over pain generally associated with FM. If there is, what do you do to be more comfortable and do you still suffer the neuro-type symptoms as well?
It has taken me a long time to accept that I have fibromyalgia because I don’t have the all over pain, but the trigger point pain can wake me at night and keep me from being able to move at all sometimes. Other than the sharp pains from trigger points, it is the neuro symptoms that make me crazy. I am the list queen! If it isn’t written down it will NOT happen. Concentration? What’s that? Distraction? All over it!
Just wondering if there is anyone else with CMP…I am thankful I do not suffer with the all over pain that most struggle with. My heart goes out to you.
I don’t have the CMP, but I know some do…I’m interested to see the comments
I can relate to having a list for everything, sometimes I have to spend a day just going through them to see what ones I can discard… Lol
Everything that I have on my long list of ills comes secondary to the Psoriatic Arthritis, spondylitis type, that is my big enemy, even though Enbrel is an impressive advocery, damage has been done. The worse the arthritis, the worse the muscles are, and it is very weather (barometric pressure) related.
Sorry to know that you also struggle with this!
Oh yes, I write the lists as well, have to! It's a pleasure to hear from you,
I have both. I would say that 90% of the time the fibro is worse and 10% of the time the face pain is worse. For some reason I have been getting it a lot less since I moved. I now live 50 meters from the sea so maybe the salty air helps. When I was in England it was so bad that some days I could not open my eyes. I find that nose sprays, and allergy tablets help a lot with it. xx
