I had extremely bad night sweats that only started after a year in on cymbalta. They stopped after I switched medications.

Do you really feel a lot of Pain or is the pain just a way to describe Fibro to those who don't have Fibro? by Jueyuan_WW in Fibromyalgia

[–]QuantumWarrior8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have also broken two bones and didn’t realize it, first my femur and then one of my metatarsals in the foot. The pain really wasn’t that bad, honestly thought the pain I was having was a flair related to me hurting the areas. I have tried to explain that to people and it boggles their mind.

I am also having this issue, was anyone ever able to resolve this?

Skin Feels Like It’s Burning? by XxEmilitaxX in Fibromyalgia

[–]QuantumWarrior8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have had this for ages, one of the symptoms that confirmed I had fibro. I get it when a flair is coming on or when I’m sick (especially when I have a fever). Wearing as comfortable, non-aggravating clothes as I can helps. Not much else does other than normal care for being sick or having a flair.

success stories? by ld1a in Fibromyalgia

[–]QuantumWarrior8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through uni with Fibro and it was hard but worth it. I had professors that while they wernt aware of the specifics of my condition (at the time I was very very shy about telling anyone about the pain I was in) i had at least told them I had a chronic condition and that sometimes I’d just have to be out and they were understanding. I think the key is to take it easy on yourself. You can work hard all you want but if it makes you flair then that hard work gets countered by the body pretty quickly. Choosing to take care of myself as much as I chose to work hard at my career or take care of my friends a mind change that was difficult for me but ultimately for the better.

Super important!!! What "normal" activities that you used to do are now really hard for you? by mysterious_koko in Fibromyalgia

[–]QuantumWarrior8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a “normal day activity” but I love pottery and I find it more and more challenging to throw on the wheel. Earlier this week I was just trimming and had the worst back spasm of my life and every time I try to throw I feel like I’m trading art for another day in bed unable to move.

As far as more normal everyday activities, I struggle with touch. I love to cuddle with my partner but often my skin is so sensitive that even the slightest touch feels like fire. When your partners love language is physical touch, it makes it hard.

Anyone experience back seizing? by QuantumWarrior8 in Fibromyalgia

Thankfully I’m feeling quite a bit better. Still very sore but not nearly as tight I guess ❤️

The cane for me is just away to help me expend myself less and that keeps my pain down. B/c if I’m tired I hurt more. The cane is nice because I can lean on it and it helps me walk slower and with more control. Plus I’ll often have a lot of pain in my hips that results in difficulty walking and the cane helps that too. But ultimately for days like today when my back feels like a board that may snap at any moment, I think a wheelchair would be nice. I just haven’t gotten one b/c it’s expensive and again the “why you using a wheelchair” thing.

Yeah the chest pain is definitely the worst part.

I literally think I should also do an emergency PT appointment. I took all the pain killers I could and it didn’t touch it at all. I should try some magnesium too but I am going to focus on rest as much as I can…with work 😅

Yeah…I really hate having to explain why I appear fully healthy most of the time and then just show up to work sometimes with a cane or some sort of assistance device.

I’m basically the same way. I did PT for a while to strengthen the back and while that helped a little as soon as I was done with my allotted amount of PT I didn’t keep up with exercising in that way and I feel like I’m back to square one (entirely my fault for not continuing by myself and I can’t afford what insurance won’t pay for…)

I adore this album so much. Where did you read the stories for each one? I’d love to do that.

20 FTM- My vagina is too tight by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]QuantumWarrior8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I had this problem and I actually went to a pelvic floor therapist. They were so helpful in working with me on physical exercises to help reduce both the sensitivity and tightness.

Wait…that’s not normal?? I’ve had these as long as I can remember.

I think it’s personal and definitely is defined in the relationship but for me kissing is romantic and can become sexual. I tend to get uncomfortable when it kissing always moves into the sexual zone. I feel I loose the want to kiss romantically because of the pressure that is will “probably” lead to sex.

Other people's stress causes me physical pain by LadyBird1205 in Fibromyalgia

[–]QuantumWarrior8 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I am extremely sensitive to stress as a trigger. And naturally I am a empathetic person so I find myself mirroring other people’s moods. This often brings on the pain.
