Major Fibro flare after many years

Hi Everyone - Today has been a very painful day for me. I was woken up at 4:20 am by my pain throughout my body. I hurt everywhere! My skin hurst so badly I want to cry. :cry: I have had fibro for over 25 years and haven’t had a flare quite like this one. I don’t know what is going on to create such a bad flare. I just about want to pull my hair out…… I hurt in so many places even areas that I have had under control for quite some time. I just needed to vent to an understanding audience. I am praying this will end soon so I can hopefully sleep tonight. Thanks for ā€œlisteningā€. :ear: :face_holding_back_tears:

Hi ElaineVT49. I was so sorry to read your post that you have had such a nasty flareup. My heart went out to you. I do hope you are feeling better today and not in quite so much pain.

Hi ElaineVT49

I pray that you are feeling much better today! I have been diagnosed with Fibro since 2004 and it’s been a up and down battle! No one in my family really understands how I feel! Some days I don’t even feel like taking a shower! I was wondering if anyone else feels this way? I love to smell good, I have a lot of perfumes! It’s just getting into the shower. And mines is a chore because it’s a tub/ shower combo! And I’m 62 and also have arthritis in my knees! So I get your feeling bad and don’t understand why! It’s been 3 days so I pray that this was a better day! :purple_heart::folded_hands:t5:

Hi Ladysax

I can understand how much of a chore for you to get into the shower. although I have got a wetroom (with a walk-in shower) I do find it a chore to have a shower. I have a very compact bungalow, so in the wetroom I have things in their which have to be moved out when I have a shower. Even just getting dressed I am wiped out either with exhaustion or wiped out with pain. I started with fibromyalgia in 2010. There is no let up with it and it is just getting worst. Saying that I think I am better than some people who have this illness. I just have to limit what I do and make sure I get pleny of rest in between of doing anything.
