Yes my pain is never ending as well. Always achy and super sensitive in the same areas. I feel battered and bruised every day. In the beginning I would have a few good days here and there but now it seems permanent. I have also had short periods on and off where my teeth hurt. Not sure if this is Fibro related. Sorry you are going through this, it is very hard to feel unwell day after day. I try to go about my business as usual as much as possible regardless. Hope someday we can find something that helps. Have tried a few medications with little relief.

I can relate, although my pain usually remains at a low to medium level. I seem to have more pain when I am very fatigued, and sometimes even my hair hurts.....

Yes, I understand what you are going through, much like everyone else here. And yes, all of a sudden my teeth hurt a great deal. I was blaming it on my teeth clenching which may be part of it but I would sure like to know the answer and what to do about it. I wish I had some answers for your pain, except to say you are not alone and we understand!! Hugs GB

That's how it is for me. It's been pretty rare for my pain to be completely gone and for me to ever feel normal.

I hope everyone here finds a solution to their pain. If you find anything useful, please let me know.

Yes I have never ending pain and fatigue and when people talk about "flares" I think to myself I am in a constant flare every single day.
It sucks.

Daisygirl I've been thinking the same thing when people talk about having a flare. There are days that it is a bit worse than others, like when I way overdo it but generally speaking I feel like I'm being tortured everyday. So I'm thinking I am stuck in a permanent flare. Either that or I am overdoing it each and every day.

I too have pain every day. It's been over 2 years now. Thankfully oxy keeps me functioning. Sending you gentle hugs.

In the beginning of my battle with fibro I had unrelenting level 8,9,10 pain on a daily basis! I was practically bedridden and felt battered and bruised daily. When I first came here, I didn't understand the concept of a flare, as I felt as if I was in never-ending flare.

I was able to work with my integrative medical doctor and get better control of my fibromyalgia symptoms. I have reduced my daily pain levels to 2-4. I still have unrefreshing sleep, periodic flare-ups and stiffness, but I am far from what I used to be. I thank God that I have found a good regimen and I pray that you do too!

I have a blog in which I have a section entitled fibro tips that you may find helpful. It's www.kickfibro.com

I never had no pain at all. But I have had pain in my feet that seems to never ever lighten up.

Hello I'm new here,but I know what you mean about the pain all to well.

Oh my gosh how much everyone suffers!! And I am so sorry you have such unrelenting pain! My fibro has just grown steadiiy worse ever since I was diagnosed. These days I usually wake up stiff and with mild pain but if I don't take my pain meds right away (tramadol and ibuprofen) then I'll end up in so much pain it's nearly impossible to get to work. But usually the meds take care of a lot of the pain. Then I do have flares mostly due to stress at work that make me sure I'm dying. Then the depression & anxiety kick in and just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it does. I'm definitely going to check the kickfibro blog. Also, very recent gene therapy has had some very promising results. But how long will it take for the meds to hit the market? If you want the url for the article, send me a message. But warning, it's written for doctors and researchers. Wishing us all great relief soon!

I'm wondering if you need less medication if you don't work. I mean, sometimes I feel like I have to take meds so I can continue my regular routine. But if my routine was modified to exclude the 9 hours I'm gone from home every day, maybe I could concentrate more on self care and not need to rely on pills!

Its an interesting question about whether you would need fewer meds if you weren't working, At first I thought "no." But personally, I probably would not needs meds related to job stress and to fight sleeping at work & crippling fatigue. And, considering the role of stress in fibro, maybe I wouldn't need meds at all.

I have sacrificed 99% of my quality of life in order to have the strength and energy to keep my job & because I work for the federal government, it's non-stop stress with constantly hearing from higher ups that we need to do more work, faster, no errors and no understanding of all the extras they throw on us that we're at a dead run from the moment we walk in the door until we walk out. Many of us put in time off the clock trying to keep up. It's just pure stress and there is never any recognition for the things we do very well but every mistake is COUNTED! LOL!! This is my first job in over 40 years where someone is literally counting my mistakes and bringing me a list of them every month. Everyone is human and everyone makes mistakes. On previous jobs I was always loved for my fast and excellent work. On this job, I am just stressed out all the time. Bet my fibro would back off nearly completely if I didn't work. And then I'd have time & energy to take care of me, my dogs & my personal responsibilities. That's really sad!

There are 2 supplements for pain you can buy. They are costly however. The first one is found fibromyalgiatreatment.com and costs $53 a mo. The 2nd one is Turmeric and is available through Swansonvitamins.com. Happy shopping!
