My fibro has been fairly ok for about 2 weeks. Then Friday came, I was really tired and more painful on that day then normal. Then Saturday came. For the first time, as I was getting out of bed in the AM I was tearful due to the fibro. Pain fairly severe most of the day. Then Sunday came, more pain than i have had ever in the past. As the day has gone by the pain in my upper back and neck is really really bad. Now I am not tearful, I feel like SCREAMING! I am almost fearful of going to bed because of what tomorrow morning might be like. I have such sympathy for those of you who have this severity of pain on a regular basis. Just venting tonight because I needed to....
Oh yea, the old meaning of BFD has changed in my book, it now means
BAD FIBRO DAY!

Hi imjb,
I'm so sorry to hear that you're in such pain....I've been there before during a bout of costochondritis plus back pain that hit me at the same time. At that point it even hurt me to BREATHE.
Please vent as much as you need to....I'll be praying that you feel better very soon!
Soft and gentle ((((hugs)))),

I hope, by the time you read this, that you are feeling better. Fibro can bring you to your knees. I find that if I take pain meds before I get really bad, they work better. I don't wait until my pain is intense. If I do, then it takes a long time for the meds to kick in. Consequently, on my various trips to the bathroom at night I will take my meds and that helps me have a better morning. I still am stiff and have pain but it's not nearly as bad as it would be if I hadn't kept the medication in my system. You might talk to your doctor about that. I don't know what type of pain medication you take.

Thanks to all for the support. I did not really know that the winter weather could be a factor. Makes sense though. I never really can figure out what causes the really bad days but I suppose that is part of this whole fibro thing.

Hey imjb, is the flare subsiding yet? It is so unpredictable, isn't it? Sometimes it can change back and forth throughout the day. Hope you get relief soon.

Flare is subsiding a bit, thank god. I am going to make another appt with my dr. Still avoiding meds if I possibly can, heard too many things I don't like about them. So far I have been using massage, excersize, diet and malic acid-magnisium. One thing for sure, you have to move, move, move even if it hurts like heck it will help.

Hi and welcome!! Glad you are staring to feel a bit better. Good luck at your doctor's appointment and finding something that works for you. Exercise is so helpful in dealing with fibro pain. I try to move as much as I can, b/c I know I will feel better in the long run. I also take the malic acid/ magnesium, it really helps with energy and muscle fatigue.
Have you been newly dx? I also remember my fibro seeming worse when I started. It is amazing what our bodies will start to get used to. And of course, for me at least, fibro is constantly waxing and waning. You might feel horrible one day and wake up fine the next.
