I can't move without wanting to cry

I am in so much pain today.. my left hip, my right shoulder blade, my left leg, both of my ankles, my neck, my arms, my lower back, my feet... guys I'm close to going to urgent care because I'm in so much pain. I've been basically crawling to the bathroom and back to the couch all day. I can't focus on anything that normally helps me relax, I can't even hold my head up. I've been eating wheat thins all day cause that's the only thing I was able to grab from the kitchen. When I stand up I get dizzy and start seeing black spots, the pain is making me nauseous...


I don't have anything but over the counter stuff for pain. 


I'm so scared that this is going to be my life. I don't know what to do..

I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. Fibro is horrible :(. Have you tried a hot bath with some Epsom salt? Sometimes they give relief. Or maybe a heating pad if you have one? You could also try muscle creams. I've heard great this about icy hot. I've not tried it myself though.

If things become too unbearable, don't hesitate to see a doctor. I'm not sure what relief the ER can give but I'm sure they'll do something. Gentle hugs and remember we're all here for you.

I'm so sorry you're in so much pain, I can relate. If things ever feel too bad or you feel something's wrong then go to ER.
I'll keep you in my prayers for some relief

I have better luck with ice packs usually. I like to use heat on some areas in cooler weather. Have you ever tried biofreeze? It helps me, The smell is strong at first , but then does vanish. You cant use it with heat though. Trying epsom salt soaks is a good idea.

What works for some of us doesnt work for all . Sounds like a bad flare. Have you had a bad flare like this before? When I have a bad flare I basically check out for a few days or so. Lots of rest and I get up at least once an hour and walk around the house and do some gentle stretching. Along with moving ice packs from one spot to another. Make sure to drink good fluids and try to eat more if you can. Maybe an as needed nausea med would help if its your normal to get nausea with high pain levels.

I hope you feel better soon. Hugs.

    So fun facts for today:Tesla's full self-driving mode once drove someone into the path of an oncoming train, and other times so far into lakes and off bridges --- that the company has not stopped from being public. Turns out that "FSD" mode routinely busts the speed limit, too. They don't bill Tesla for that...If your company is adopting AI, PLEASE be aware that it's got more security holes than...
