Hi Carenity-

My fibro has gotten really bad, everything hurts. I live alone and tkae myself to my doctors appointments and to work. My flares are getting worse. Will there a point where it becomes unsafe to drive?

There are some days when the pain is really bad that I can’t but on the other ones, I think I’m doing alright. What about you?

Hi @CharlieE

How are you doing today?

Thanks for getting this discussion started! I think chronic pain patients can relate to being unable to function 'normally' as pain increases. Let me tag a few other members to see how they manage driving while in pain.

@Nadinesue @Tinasue79 @yellowribbongirl79 @Rockie @Debg1959 @RAwarrior63 @Kymberly222 @LisaB1 @Missisant @SkittleBits @Hotfire50 @TinaMarie89 @Hotmama64 @yorkshire16601 @AliciaKrouse @Galestorm720 @PaulaB. @Loupierce @Frogladyrhonda @Jro111 @Sharona @kskbkb @KMNagel @420FlowerChild @Sunflowers @SofieHoemaecker @Chatteras @Paven95 @Tkayiles @doglover1

Do you ever find that you cannot do daily activities due to your pain? What activities do you refrain from while flaring? Is there anyway to cope or is avoidance the only thing that can be done? Do you get someone to help you or do you just wait it out?

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carentiy team

Like you my fibro pain is getting worse as time goes on, but with mine I find it hard to leave my house or be around other people.
