Does anyone else just feel sick?

My main symptom is that I just feel sick. Yes, I have pain, but I can deal with that. What is hard to deal with is that I just don't feel well. No one else here mentions that. Does anyone else just feel sick? I also almost always have tender lymph nodes in my neck and often feel like I am just coming down with a cold. Does anyone else have these symptoms?

Yes, I just generally feel crappy! I get chills, fever ALL THE TIME!, shakes, nausea and weakness but NO I'm not in W/D. I am taking my meds, so that's not it. I think this is just part of the fibro, and part of the ongoing onslaught of symptoms that plague us. But that's just my 2 cents.

I often feel lightheaded, and sick in the stomach.

YES, I have days where I feel sick, some days I just hurt and other days I feel so sick and hurt. On the days I just feel sick, I generally run a temp of about 99.9 just enough to make you feel crappy. If I take an ibuprofen 800mg when I have this low grade temp it sometimes takes the edge off of that 'sick' feeling. Hope this helps...

Yes I feel like I have the flu a lot of the time. Whats worse than that is when I go to the doctors office and actually catch a cold on top of already feeling like this. But yes it's part of the fibro I asked the doctor that the other day because I cant remember what its like to feel completely good anymore.

I feel like this too and have fibro and cfs.My doc figures they go hand in hand.How many are diagnosed with both?Do you have both? marilyn The cfs is the little booger that causes the low grade fever for me and when its not acting up I have a sub normal temp like 96.1 marilyn

Yes, I always feel unwell. Sometimes more so than others. I get a flu like illness, that goes as suddenly as it comes on. I often feel sick and dizzy, I sometimes stumble as if I am drunk, of I am not just that this cfs and fibro does this to me, I also get a slight fever.

I feel that way often. I will sometimes convince myself that I am getting a cold or the flu because it feels so real. I do get a lot of colds and illnesses, but usually when I feel like I'm getting one, I don't. Sore throats, chills, nausea, cold sweats, coughing and sinus symptoms come and go regularly and I didn't realize that they were Fibro symptoms really, so I'm glad you brought it up.

Fibromyalgia displays Flu like symptoms most the time Most describe it as having the feeling of being hit by a mack truck...
It will make you sick, you will have swollen glands from time to time.
This is proven.
It is a horrific illness darling, it effects your whole entire body everyone has different side effects from this but they are REAL.
much love and respect,

Yes I feel sick all of the time. I think the severe pain and the meds add to my nausea and the CFS makes me feel weak. Love Cris

yeah I feel that way all the time. I feel like I was run over by a mack truck and then the truck backed over me again. Then because of my allergies in the spring and fall I get walking pneumonia. This is so much fun I forgot to laugh.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
