Hope you find a way to manage the pain. Having all of these infections as well as fibro must be torture. Do you have a good support network.? As oldham12 says you need someone to help you as we just cant do it alone. I'm sending you positive thoughts love and peace 💕✌🌈 you will get there so dont give up🤗

I do not have alot support really but I am strong my family have alot medical problems so I cant really ask for support and help my friends an work colleagues do not understand what fibromyalgia is and my partner dont understand really how much pain I am in and why I am grumpy some days but I am strong I can fight this with out support my two boys keeps me smiling and happy if I didnt have my boys I would be lost I just keep fighting every day I know it's tough x

With Fibro , your immune system is likely to be suppressed, so trying to fight a chest infection on your own is asking for worse infections to follow and further weakening of your immune system. Please see your doctor.

I have notice my immune system is getting weak I am catching stuff all time had sinusitis xmas time then end up with throat infection at the same time then over new year I left it un treat cos I tried fighting but end up on antibiotics also almost end up in hospital cos irregular heart rate now have a bad chest I am trying to fight hopefully it want win my my fybio flare ups seemed to be worst when I am bad x

You really do need to see your doctor. With a suppressed or weakened immune system your body is less able to fight off infection naturally. You will become worse if you don't accept help when needed. Flu jabs and anything else you can get will help to boost the immune system.

Cheers, Midori

Sorry you have been so ill. I have found that since having fibro even an ordinary cold can knock me for six. If I have one it always goes onto my chest and try as I might to get over it myself I always end up going to the doctors and ending up on antibiotics and steroids. I do have mild asthma which doesn't help. If you are coughing up badly coloured phlegm and feel breathless I would certainly go back to the doctors as once it gets a hold it takes weeks to get over. Let us know how you are.x
