Since being diagnosed last October I have been able to work part time only. I do not have the strength on most days to stay all day. Anyway, after taking a few days off I returned today to a very busy desk. I got stressed!
The question I have for all of you is this: Have you ever felt stressed and then felt like you had a fever? Now tonight I feel as if the nodes under my arms are inflammed. Is this fibro? I've never had this before.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I don't necessarily know if it is fibro related, but I know that whenever I get really stressed out I get sick. Either a cold, sinus stuff, a fever or something. Stress can really do a number on our immune systems and make us so much more susceptible to getting sick. If under your armpits are inflamed, that could be you lymph nodes, which means you may have a virus or something.
I hope you can get some rest, and take it easy. Try to take a deep breath (and some lavender tea-something I like to calm me). If you were out for a few days, give yourself some time to catch up. I hope that you start to feel better soon and less stressed! :)
I REALLY wish more people understood this fibro and stress...it is REAL and it is painful...I hope you feel better very soon...rest up and relax!
Big hugs
