Hi there I'm quite new to posting on a forum like this. So apologies if my wording is a bit off or if this has been covered already. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia quite a few years ago now. Since then it has done nothing but grow worse and worse. Flare ups used to be every so often and last for very short times (1-2 days max) where it hurt to even have clothes touch my skin. However currently this flare up has lasted far longer. I have a stressful time at work currently so I get that doesn't help. But I've tried all the painkillers under the sun...or feels like it. Morphine helped a bit but then it wore off and...I'd rather not up the dosage and risk getting addicted o.o that sounds scarier to me. It is hard to work whilst my body just wants to scream at me constantly. The pain levels are just intense with numbness tingles...around the base of my neck and spine which surges through everywhere else. I literally have to drag myself up in the mornings out of bed, when I do rest it doesn't help. Warm baths/showers are the only things that somewhat ease it. I walk home from work every day (which can take between 35-50 mins) and that does nothing. I'm...honestly not sure what's left to try and...again sorry for going on but...if anyone has any advice? I've had specialists in hospitals investigate heart palpatations are but one symptom I've been shoved with for my fibro. Harder to concentrate and remember stuff sometimes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
