I would love to hear from people who are dealing with this diagnosis. I can't seem to get past this attack. I'm on Lyrica and take my meds religiously. I'm even involved with a chronic pain series on Zoom. Alot of Doctors recommend exercise, I've tried it and after a couple of days I'm in so much pain I can barely move. HELP

@Jagger3 Hello Jagger3, thank you for opening this discussion. Let me tag some of our other members who can possibly share their thoughts and experiences with you.

Hi all, how are you doing? How do you manage your fibromyalgia in the day to day? How do you get through a flare? Does exercise help you at all?

I find rainy and gloomy days the worst. I have a new best friend, it's my heating pad! I snuggle up in something warm and lay on the heating pad. Just being warm helps. The sad part is that this is a maddening condition that really is painful and uncomfortable. Sometimes you just want to go to sleep and not wake up until there is better help available and more understanding to what we deal with every single day. I have not gotten relief from exercise, only increased pain.

@Jagger3 I second @ShaunLee66 's heating pad! I also haven't had any "success" with exercise. It just added to my pain. Maybe something more gentle like yoga or pilates would be better?

Unfortunately what I focus on mostly is treating my symptoms and taking my meds religiously. I've been considering looking into CBD for pain but I haven't had the time to sit down and do the research.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.
