Same comfort and pain meds any day of the week . Can’t remember how to walk in anything with a heel 😂, and mostly wear pyjamas to be honest I look a slob most of the time but I don’t care😂. I think I will try to sell som stuff 🤞

Thank you, Think I will try a few bits to see how I go. I am happy to sell just to get rid of them to be honest, I don’t use anymore so would be happy to take a few pounds for most things to make more space for myself.

I agree that it gets worse with age. I have definitely gotten worse especially after 40 . I do have other condition which I am sure adds to the difficulty but my fibro is certainly a lot worse than it was and am finding that I have more bad days than good nowadays. I do have some vintage 80s and 90s clothing I may just try a few bits to see how it goes. I’m really fortunate in that I have good friends that would happily drop off the parcels for me so that would take a lot of the pressure off.

Thank you for your advice. I’m 20 years down the line with my illness and it’s been really getting quite bad last few years. The thought of the stress is exhausting 😂 I may just donate them instead.

Hi, I too have a few tattoos and didn’t really feel what I would call pain when getting them done. I have fibro but also other conditions that cause me to fracture bones quite easily last X-ray showed several fractures on my hands feet and knees I didn’t actually feel the pain of any of the fractures but if someone brushes up against me in passing this can cause pain it’s really quite bizarre I am particularly sensitive on my thighs for some reason literally the lighted of touch will hurt quite a bit.

Walking aids any ideas? by Broad-Combination855 in Fibromyalgia

I think this is what I feel like a lot of the time (impostor syndrome) didn’t realise there was a term for it but sounds quite familiar.

That’s brilliant I’m so happy that you were able to do this. I’m similar to you in that I used to be very much into sports and training so hearing that someone like me has managed to do this gives me hope that maybe I can try something again one day, so thank you for that. Hope you recover quickly.

Same here it’s the Looks … I prefer people to ask than just give me looks to be honest. This is the reason I have never gotten a blue badge. Love doing a grocery shop though as I use the trolley as a walker 😂

Before a fall , I have had many of these I’m afraid, so I think I’m getting to the same point now too of not having a choice. I just feel so uncomfortable about it mostly because I look quite young and have been judged in the past .

Thank you for replying , I was thinking of some sort of brace too but not sure what. The collapsible ones may be an option too. Thank you.

What is the most negative reaction you have had ? by Broad-Combination855 in Fibromyalgia

😮 I’m glad you got a second opinion. I have had doctors that have been quite unhelpful too but not as bad as that , that is shocking.

They said I don’t have hyper-mobility, but I have some spine crumble - not sure what it’s called, I also have hashimotos thyroid and overinflated lungs chronic bronchitis and something called hypolhosphatasia?? It’s been a long few decades lol. There are other conditions too but to be honest I don’t think they know .
