No but I do have emphysema. I know they are totally different in many ways but having fibromyalgia on top of any lung condition does not make life easy. Especially when you get musculoskeletal pain in the chest and back.

Thank you! I’m sorry you have Emphysema, I hear that’s really difficult. I also get a lot of musculoskeletal pain in my chest. I didn’t know what was going on. I read it’s common with fibromyalgia. I use Vick’s vapor rub and an anti inflammatory. What do you do for it?

Yes. I have asthma and bronchiectasis (as well hypothyroid, a breathing disorder, multiple chemical sensitivities, immune issues and fibro of course. Also some as yet undiagnosed shaking thing that I take meds for).

It isn’t an easy combo as one can set off the other. Hope you are currently doing ok?

Fibroglow...sorry to hear you are suffering with both also. I’m here if you want to compare notes.

I have very mild Copd and fibromyalgia. When I’m flare I get gastritis or its reversed not sure & acid reflux. I can’t breathe. I find I have to take steroid inhaler. I don’t usually need anything but it’s gotten worse from stress & meds blowing my stomach out. I’m exhausted. Use steam and lots vit C if you can handle it. Get your immune boosted. Vit b6
