I’ve had some very severe fibro flares over the past 25 years...I’m in a terrible flare right now for the past 5 months...these flares are mostly brought on by prolonged emotional and/or physical stress. In addition to the symptoms you described, Fibro for me creates digestive issues (bloating, gas, nausea, etc), along with overactive bladder, which can be products of anxiety also. Thanks for doing your vids on the subject....many days I can’t even text a msg on my phone without feeling pain in my fingers, shoulder, or back. I know most of your audience seems like women, but men definitely can get fibro also (which I’m sure you’re aware of).

Great video. My worst symptom is neck pain.

😢 you have covered itt quite well! Hoping they find a cure soon. Hugs and rrock on! ❤

My fibro flares are so painful. I feel like my arms and legs are on fire, a red hot raging fire that I can’t put out. All I can do is lay there in pain.

My pain is 24/7. Chronic since August 15, 2012. Never goes away!!!

[sandyandies]

Glad I found you! I am 61yrs. old. I was diagnosed 2yrs ago. I have had this since I was a child. Growing pains is what I was told. My periods were terrible. Cramps and clots. I had endometriosis and hysterectomy at age 40. All the symptoms you have I have also. My worst pain is my bones in my legs and wrist feel like they are on fire. Also the feeling of a knife jabbing the muscles in my leg. It dont last long maybe 10 jabs and then goes away. Makes you think you are crazy. I can go on and on about my pain but you describe it very well. Thank you! I'm not alone.

I have everything you talked about, it’s the all over the body pain that’s worse. 😢 every day there’s something to deal with also.

For me, the pain and fatigue is bad, but the fibrofog bothers me most. Im a writer, who often cant write, bevause the words disappear. And the social aspect with fibrofog is very difficult.
Thank you, for a very informative video. 🙏🏻

The song succeed. By Sonic's rendezvous band perfectly illustrates what your Destined for

Hi. I've had fibro for a long time, many years. Sleep issues, burning pain, pins and needles, brain fog, all over pain and achiness, fatigue. I have other health issues as well. The things that help reduce the fibro pain for me have been heating pads, therapy cane, gentle yoga, short rest periods throughout the day, especially on my really bad days. I also drink a green smoothie every day. Spinach, arugula, bananas and berries with water. I find that it really helps with the fatigue. 32 oz. Nothing makes the pain go away but those things help. You pretty much have to be your own advocate. A lot of doctors just don't know what to do with fibromyalgia patients. Meds have never helped me much, but I'm all for using them if they work. Be patient with yourself. Do something you enjoy, even a small thing, every day.

The more I learn about this chronic illness, the more I’m grateful for very good health
Hoping that as awareness is brought people will be more compassionate and understanding towards sufferers
Do you ever feel that a lot of anxiety and stress may exacerbate symptoms at times
Is very hot weather also a trigger
Take care
Warm Hugs 🤗

The folks at YT thumbnail labs are crazy good

[jamesmcconnell]

That's the thing about your channel. It's impossible not to consider what you're going through . Endless details maybe. I'm glad I'm listening to your video this second. For hand and arm pain a topical lemon essential oil and lavender. They are the only ones that work on the arms 9:28

Fibromyalgia is very difficult and painful disease. Diagnosis is difficult. There is no lab or imaging test to diagnose it. Lot of psycho- somatic issues. Difficult to diferentiate from psychiatric ailments. For a long time, fibromyalgia was not recognized as physical still some may consider it psychic disease only! Treatment is difficult as well. Disease is life-long, management is life-long.

[janmartell]

The unrelenting fatigue is worse than the pain for me.
