i got some devistating news last week and not taking it very well at all.My boss had a massive heart attack and passed away.I was very close to her and we had a very good work relationship.She was the best boss i have ever had.To top the icing my father has been dx with cancer as well.So my fibromyalgia is in a full blown flair my teeth and hair even hurt.No pain killers are even taking the edge off the pain.So need some advice on how everyone deals with the pain when pain killers arent even touching the pain.Thanks sleepless.

Hi Sleepless, Just wanted to say God Bless You and your family especially your Dad. I just lost my brother in February and it is a terrible thing to go through. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double masectomy this year. Please believe my prayers are with you. As for the pain, I'm new at this and I don't think my fibro is as bad as many people' on here, although I feel like it's getting worse and I don't have any constructive advice to give you other than heating pads, hot baths, etc. I'm sorry you're going through all this and you look so young to be dealing with all this. Best wishes and God Bless.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your recent loss and about your father. These types of events cause a stress overload on our systems and often put us in a flare.

Try meditation. When I get so bad that my teeth and hair hurt I have to go to a dark room and just be quiet for a while.

Hugs to you sleepless and you too vivmoon

Hi Sleepless , I am so sorry for you. I wish you the quietest day. I find when I am really really sad if I go listen to a sad song and just meditate. I relax. I don't get depressed I just sit and slowly tell myself relax your neck, your shoulders, arm, allowing each part to get tired and heavy. Eventually you get so relaxed you lay down, sometimes I even fall asleep which if fine.. Hope this helps isabee.
