Fibromyalgia Flare Ups

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Bristol, UK

Although I've had symptoms sporadically over the last maybe 5-6 years, I've now had that formal diagnosis...if any of you fab & amazing peeps suffer from this, please could you offer some of your tips for coping at home & what you would do for the absolute awful Altered Sensations? I have them all down my right side & it's driving me crazy
I move as much as I can, wrap myself in a heated blanket & lie on that side...this helps but could do with more tips?? Air & touch feels strangely… read more

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member your ignorance is unkind & not appreciated here...if you are too narrow minded to be able to be compassionate & show empathy, then you're in the wrong group! Your personal opinion about what ya think about peoples suffering, says a hell of a lot about the kind of person you are & thats sad!
