I thought it was gone

July 2012 after a traumatic brain injury it seemed gone or at least like a radio with volume turned way down. All of a sudden massive flare up. I can get through the flare up but I'd hoped it had burned itself out.
But the thought that its back permanently kills me.

Hi dipso, I'm so sorry that you find yourself in a bad flare up. Your post is interesting to me because it is similar to my experience but with opposite results. I had fibro for many years before I suffered from a traumatic brain injury. But for me, the injury set off a major flare, which I've never completely been able to get out of.

Sadly, fibro can come and go (or flare up) for some, but even worse are those that never get a break from the pain, fatigue, and long list of other associated ailments. I hope that you will come out of the flare, but if not, that you are able to come up with a strategy in which to enable you the best quality of life possible. It's hard not to get discouraged, I understand that. I hope you have a good support system around you. And there is definitely good support here!

It used to happen to me that I would think it was gone, but no here it is again. It is sort of fascinating that a TMI would make it go away. It seems like it would more likely work the way it did with Sunsetzza.

Sorry, I know that disappointment, when "Oh, not again...."
