Hi guys, pain was bad, but we celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday on Friday and now I’ve been on a 4 day flair... pain is on another level, I feel as if my knees, wrists, fingers and elbows were broken.

I can’t eat because the pain is nauseating and no pain meds are working.

wanna cry!!

I'm so sorry you're in so much pain! Does heat or ice help? -hugs-

Ugh, so sorry to hear :(

Are you able to get comfortable in a epsom salt bath? I've found warm broth does okay for me when I'm nauseous, and it has some protein so I don't feel like I'm totally starving my body.

Do you have any meds you can take for sleep to rest until you are a little more functional?

Hi Eeyore!! It’s been an unusually old day which made my trip to the doctors, terrible, but now I’m all tucked in under a thousand blankets and that helps!!
Hugs to you too!!

CTP thanks for the broth idea!! Definitely doing that!!
I’ll have a new pain treatment tomorrow with IV marijuana extract, it’s experimental and maaaaaaybe a little shady haha but I’m really hoping it helps with the pain!! Hugs to you too!!

I'm glad something gives you relief, it get really frustrating when nothing helps. We're all here for you though! -hugs-

My doc really encouraged me to try med marijuana for pain/stress/appetite but I couldn't get med certified here :( (plus, drug testing for school rules out "other avenues")

Fingers crossed it helps you with some of your symptoms, maybe all!
If you can get bone broth it's supposed to be the most soothing for your stomach because of the proteins in it. <3

I had a really bad fibro flare a couple of weeks ago.
I finally was so desperate, I took a Epsom salt bath,with Lavender.
It gave me less pain for a couple of hours

Don't forget the mind-body connection. Check in on your emotional state, try to find something to bring you a little joy. Self-care and doing anything that makes you feel alive seems to be the best combo for me when I am really suffering. I hope this new treatment works wonders. Good luck
