Do any of you suffer with getting swollen wrists & ankles for a day or 2? Is it another side effect of our dear fibro?

I do, especially ankles. I have gained weight with the FM, apparently a sign of fm... my ankles hurt, my hands and wrists do to. This is the mother of all illnesses eh? It effects EVERYTHING in one way or another.

What I meant to say was that I have gained weight and with the swelling this makes it worse!! Stiff and achy. xx

Fibro isn't inflammatory. You may get fluid retention with Fibro, but any other inflammation should be a cause for concern. At the very least, you should get your Gp to rerun inflammatory and autoimmune blood tests on a reasonably regular basis - many inflammatory conditions do not show up in blood tests straight away.
