🔥 Fibro and hyperalgesia: Do you feel like your body overreacts to pain sometimes?

Hi everyone 💜

How are you holding up today?

Many people with fibromyalgia experience something called hyperalgesia, which is when your nervous system reacts to pain signals more intensely than it should. Even a small bump or gentle touch can feel overwhelming.

💭 Let’s open up:

• Do you experience this kind of amplified pain?
• What does it feel like for you, constant, triggered by certain things, or totally unpredictable?
• Have you found anything that helps calm it down?
