Hello there. I totally know what you're talking about re: the compression socks. They sure do help with everything you said. It's very hard to try and describe the "feelings/ pain" (that we suffer from) to others. I can barely touch my skin because it feels like I'm "cutting" myself with a...
Did anyone mention GOUT? It's a type of arthritis. My husband suffers from it. His is generalized in his big toes but has had a flare up in his hands before. Look at your bloodwork and see if they tested you for your URIC ACID levels. High = Gout. You'll have to check what your levels should be...
I have also felt like that. I just wish that I knew what to expect everyday I wake up. Sometimes it's only one particular kind of pain in a "generalized" area, other days it's like "all hell broke loose" in my body.

Hi there again. I forgot to mention that I have a bunch of other illnesses on top of this and my husband doesn't communicate about those either. He never tries to cheer me up or give me a "pep" talk. I'm alone on this journey I guess.
Thanks to y'all for speaking about this. I thought I was all alone on this matter. I've not yet been "papered" with fibro but I am on an anti-depressant that helps (somewhat) with my anxiety, depression and fibro. I'm allergic to Cymbalta (bummer because I've heard good things about it). My...
