I'm glad you're feeling better this morning. I think fibro gets worse. I know mine has gotten worse since my first diagnoses, but I have other underlying health problems and my neuropathy continues to worsen. Do you have other ailments? It seems like most of us do, which makes it harder for me to know which pain is what. It seems like everything is tender now and I hurt everywhere. I hope you have a good week.

Hi twinmomab I have high blood and I had a full hysterectomy in march because they found sells that can lead to Cancer in the womb that's why they had to remove it.Lately I have experience a sore troat and a itchy head the Pimple's just gets pain full

I know my fibro is getting worse over time. Mishy try aveeno shampoo and conditioner i get stress sores on my head and it helps so much!

I was just mentioning to someone yesterday that I had read an article about stages of progression...but I didn't get to finish the article and now can't recall where it was, so would love to know what it was in. What I did read really resonated with me as I've been dealing with symptoms for over 30 years and see symptoms evolving. Or some things are better, while other things are popping up...like vertigo for the first time, and outbreaks of skin rashes with Candida, spikes in blood pressure, and chest pains and tightness in chest I never had before, like I'm afraid I'm having a heart attack, but mainly feels like adrenaline rushes for no apparent reason or stress, and Valium no longer helps to calm it. Hmmmmmm would love to know what you read!

Hi star sister I read it on pinsterest

Yes, for as long as I have been researching (past 10yrs), fibro has been "known" or thought of as having stages in a progressive manner. But it's not still, at least to my knowledge, considered a progressive disorder. And as far as I can remember, this is just more data collection, it's not an official claim to the disorder.

If you google something like how progressive is fibromyalgia? You'll find quite a bit out there. I too get frustrated when I loose something and can retrace to find that one article. (I do this often).
But here is a link to something I readily admit I only half read today. But the doctor in this article said something I think would reasonate with all of us.

If we don't get our symptoms under control, our fibro will feel more progressive. I think that is key here. The trouble is, most of us are left w/out treatment due to lack of care/concern from their medical professionals or that they have tried everything out there and nothing works/or has been taken away from them.

So, in the end, there are many of us who are feeling like this is more of a progressive disorder that we ever imagined it would be. I guess , and this is just speaking for myself here, but I'm so dang thankful I'm not a in a wheelchair each day. I may have had a lot take away from my life/lifestyle, but I didn't have it all take away from me.

And there I go again....posting w/out adding the link....forgive me folks.
