I’m new to all this, but is it usual to swing from intense pain to heavy leaden arms that ache so much, too heavy to lift, I don’t know what’s worse, there doesn’t seem to be any let up, it’s all day every day, no wonder we get fed up x any suggestions please?

Hi KimSawyer I am so sorry you sound like you may be in a flare :( I am going through the same thing at the moment. I have suffered with fibro for over 30 years and I have to admit it does not seem to get any better as i have got older. If you feel worse than normal i would advise you speak to your GP there may be other things going on your not aware of.

I am undergoing more blood tests at the moment and my blood sugar seems to have come back a little bit off now having my hormone levels re checked. All these things can cause extra pain and other problems if they are out of whack . So please don't think everything you may be feeling is fibro related . If your ever unsure or feel worse than is normal for you please have a chat with you doctor.

I do hope your aches and pains settle down soon. I can't take medication pain pills etc. So on my bad days I listen to my body and if it hurts i rest it and I am never far from my hot water bottle sometimes a ice gel pack which i keep in the freezer so it's always at the ready if needed. I do hope you can enjoy some of your weekend take care xx

Thanks everybody, it’s reassuring to know that what I feel is real and that some people know that, it doesn’t help that apart from a permanent pained look on my face, I look remarkably well. Does anyone get me when I say I’m loathe to keep going to my gp, in case I’m labelled as a middle aged hypochondriac? Thanks again though forall your help and advice, it is much appreciated

Hi hun, Ive had a lot of this recently- my own fault ive been hanging wallpaper! It causes tendonitis which is quite painful, if you speak to the pharmacist who dispenses any meds you take ask about some anti inflammatory pills to help with this.
