Flare-ups happen every other week and are so debilitating. Some days I just laze around reading cause my body just hurts too much all over, yet on a good day there is no stopping me. I look forward to my good days as they help me cope with the bad. Hello to all, I have FM and have been trying to understand its triggers for over 8 years.

I am a high school English teacher currently struggling with all of this fibrofun. I am also the mother of a pretty little 7 month old baby girl. Wow. I'm having a pretty difficult time right now, and mine sounds so mild in comparison! I'm so sorry you have to go through this. It's really sometimes overwhelming. Hang in there...

At present it is a term that my GP is banding around. Mainly the pain has been effecting me and it started in June 09 when I was in a car accident- I have only got worse since this time. I feel in limbo at present waiting to be labelled and given a direction- yet I am scared of what fibromyalgia may come to mean to me. I am pleased to read your story/ies and your accounts of fibromyalgia and what it means to you. Neleh. UK. Hi there, I am new to fibromyalgia and I’m yet to receive a full diagnosis.

It can be overwhelming. It is interesting how many people I connect with that have FM tend to also be empaths - incredibly tuned in to the people around them and their energies and emotions. But that can be incredibly draining even without the complications of FM. Your physician does sound excellent! I wish you the best of luck for your future surgeries and hope that your symptoms improve. With your spirit they are bound to. My Best! Toni, what you are saying about your senses is so true.
