Mickie, the worst for me is the the pain in my hands. Not being able to grip anything, somedays to hold anythingin my hands.

For me the Fog is the worst. Pain and insomnia thay can at least treat somewhat, but the fog just totally brings me to my knees in tears at times. At 41, I need my memory. My husband is disabled as well and I have to keep track of Dr appointments, meds, meal times, and on and on. When the fog hits I'm lucky to remember my name or what I just said or did. It's devastating.

The pain is the worst for me. Achey tender muscles and joints. Constant constipation (but that could be due to PUD or Eating Disorders). I hate feeling run-down.

The constant pain in my knees that the pain meds don't touch all the time and the tiredness

Fibro fog, the pain, spasms, stiffnes and fatigue I can manage, but the fog, when I can't think properly, my mind goes blank, I can't remember what is going on, conversations are a nightmare coz I lose track of what is being said. You all know what I mean. That is the worse for me. I HATE THE FOG!!!

Mine is the pain and soreness in the joints and muscles. contantly being tired. Not being able to do what I used to do.

my shoulders and neck bother me the worst of all..

The past couple of months its been my neck and shoulders , My shoulders are in agony at the moment,I'm not a happy chappy with it,,and my sleeping pattern is also out the window as well grrrr,,

For me it is the leg and rib pain. My leg pain seems to start up in my hips and just bores into them. Then the pain radiates up and down my legs. When it is bad, I nothing I take seems to help. The ribs, because it makes breathing difficult. I sing and have a speaking ministery. Sometimes it feels like I can't get words out, because I can't catch my breath.

The worst part for me is the just feeling sick. I haven't noticed that anyone else has ever mentioned that. I just feel sick. The second worst would be the fog and the third worst would be the pain. Does anyone else just feel sick and want to get away from the feeling. Of course, there is no place to go to get away from it.

For me it is a tie between morning stiffness/pain in the hips and the fog I'm always in. Most mornings shuffling around the house without a clue is my worst symptom.

Why do we feel worse in the mornings or after naps?

cappie I think we need to constantly keep moving.. staying in one positon too long makes it worse..when we sleep we dont move that much.. also sitting in a chair too long can do it to me..

I refuse to believe this..please tell me this can't be true. I have a friend for over 34 yrs who recently told me that I say things when we are out with other people that I shouldn't be saying and she knows aren't true. Stories about my husband and I..personal things. I don't believe her. I was very angry. Is this possible. Can this happen and we forget we said it? IF this is so then that is it...I swear I will never leave my house. I have had enough of this ridiculous disease that most people think is all in our heads anyway...including my oldest daughter.

I would say the *pain* in general is the worst for me and the fatigue and lack of motivation that the pain causes would be the second. I can't point out the worst area for the pain, because for me it moves and I never know which spot is going to be the worst. My right shoulder always hurts (this is where the injury originally occurred that cause the fibro) but I also have pain other places that varies from day to day. I seem to have spells of particular areas that will flare. For example my right hip, my feet, and my hands have all been hurting lately.

I also think that I can put up with the shoulder pain better than some of the others. Maybe that's because my shoulder has been hurting for 14 years and I have learned to block it out some. However, when other areas are hurting I cannot seem to block them out. I think when my legs, arms, feet, and hands hurt it is the worst because no matter what I try to do I am moving them and I am constantly reminded that they hurt.

I find the fog stays at bay as long as I keep my brain active by reading and doing things to keep my mind moving. Although, I do have to write everything down. I keep a grocery list, a shopping list for other things, and a list of things I need to do or places I need to go. I also have a bad habit of writing a phone number or note down on a scrap piece of paper and then I always seem to forget to put it where it belongs and then I find myself searching and searching for it. Okay, so maybe the fog is worse than I thought, but I am coping by writing it all down!
