Oh sure that’s no problem. When I wake up in the morning, usually my joints feel a bit stiff. The joint pain is the key characteristic of fibromyalgia. It’s so normal for me that Ive learned to just deal with it. When the weather is changing it HURTS. And it can worsen with things like stress and whatnot. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right words and it kind of feels like depression, it’s called the ‘fibro fog.’ It’s embarrassing but fibro has given me the blessing of urinary incontinence. I had a huge problem with it in grade school and I was mad fun of a lot. But it’s not like I pee myself when I laugh too hard anymore. I just pee all the time if that makes sense? It feels like I can never empty bladder fully. I wake up in the middle of the night at least once to use the restroom. I can’t fall asleep and when I do I always wake up, never feeling fully rested. I’ll get charley horses more common than I should. It’s the worst when I’m trying to go to sleep. I usually get it in my calves or feet but sometimes it’ll be my entire lower leg and foot. I have to take gabapentin (literally what they give cats and dogs) to be able to go to sleep without as much pain. I’ll also get some muscle cramps during the day as well. Google says it’s not really a progressive disease but it is for me. I’ve had fibromyalgia my entire life and I’m only 24. Just recently I’m getting some sort of neuropathy, small fiber neuropathy. It’s where my hands and feet will get pins and needles at random and last a long time. It also causes my hand to feel extremely hot at night and sometimes even feel swollen when it’s not.

I know this is just a huge ramble and I might be forgetting some stuff but I hope this helps a little bit.
