Fibro pain

[Growley30]

Hi all, new here. Struggling with Fibro, feel like my back is breaking, can’t get comfy in bed but don’t feel strong enough to get up and get moving. I’ve had a head cold the past week. Do other illnesses effect fibro and does it make everything feel ten times worse? Really could do with someone to chat to, I feel like I’m going crazy x

Hi

Yes,a cold will make your fibro worse. I do understand where you are coming from. I couldn't stop crying on Tuesday night cos of all the pain I was in, it's 24/7 , I didn't think I could cope anymore. Feel better emotionally now because family, friends and everyone here have helped me so much. Take care Lynne

Thank you. Emotionally I'm ok now, thank you. Pain-that's another story!! Night night, sweet dreams. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

I think if you are down with a cold, it does make your other symptoms worse. Hopefully when you recover from your cold your other symptoms will improve. xx

Hi Hun yes you feel like you've been hit by Lorry or kicked in the back by a horse everything feels 10 x worse try having a hot bath before bed and take strong pain killer before or during the day to help ease off pain slightly also magnesium is good to take as a supliment if you can't sleep ask for some sleeping aids temporarily as insomnia makes pain so much worse as your body heals when your asleep xx good luck keep fighting soldier your not alone ....

When it gets really bad I go have a spa day with gentle massage and sit in the hot tub and steam room.

Sorry to say it, but that seems to be the way. If you have fibro. any other problems you get are magnified.Hope you are feeling a bit better today. Whatever, you are in good company on here and we all understand . Best wishes, x

Hi I’ve off work with back pain with fibro, first week spent mostly in bed even thou couldn’t sleep with it. Horrendous week but second week managed to get up but then flare up went to other places in my body. Third week it’s affecting my head too so my eyes, headaches, confusion brain fog. This will pass I know from experience.

That’s wat will get us thru flare ups. Just ride it out take it easy. I know it’s miserable but there it is we have to accept it. Good luck xx
