Fibromyalgia Flare Up

I was nearly out of my mind in pain a little while ago. My whole body felt like every nerve was activated & I was extremely uncomfortable. My ears are still ringing like there's no tomorrow.

I weighed "riding it out" (not taking anything) against taking a Tramadol. Tramadol won. I can't afford a wasted day, but I'm also aware that Tramadol is not a long term solution and it may be like making a deal with the devil.

When you feel SO bad, you just want people to know. I resisted the urge to post I'm Facebook. I will and do tell people if necessary that I have Fibromyalgia, but it will probably hurt my job prospects if I overshare.

My Fibromyalgia pain can be bad, but I think the confusion and frustration it causes make it even worse. "What did I do yesterday that is causing this today?" Is s common question I ask myself.

I didn't wake up terribly stiff, but I did have trouble bending my fingers. Feels like my skin is too tight on my hands. That gives me worries of Scleroderma.

Last night, my ribs and back hurt like someone squeezede too hard.
