Oh what a bad day. I guess with the weather starting to change some it has thrown my fibro into a flare. Even my ankles hurt...which is new. Does anyone else have ankle pain???

Weather changes will bring on any type of pain. It was cooler today in my area so my knee and foot hurts more than normal.

Ditto what couchtater wrote..
Changes in the weather

only time pain is less is when my breakthru pain med kicks in.

Bottom of my feet feel like they are swollen & hurt lime crazy..
Even my toenails hurt !!

Sitting here with my heating pads on various body parts, old movies on TV playing as background, distracting myself on this Nook by enjoying visits with my HW friends.

Spoil yourself anyway you can & feel better soonest

I'm so happy I found this community. All of these years knowing that I wasn't alone....but feeling like I was.

I also have my number of heating pads...my kindle...no tv on...my pups are running around and help keep me entertained. My husband works out of town a lot and we are here alone a lot.

This whole ankle thing is a new pain. I know its fibro because it always seems to pop up on my body on both sides. It is really weird. I bate it. My PM added Oxycotin to my med regime 2 months ago. I take it 3 times a day with my Percocet as my breakthrough pain medicine. Some days I think this is really going to work. So I get up and try to do something in the house. Then spend a week in bed because the pain is so bad. Or I sleep and just can't wake up to do anything.

You & I have much in common..
Think many of us get our pain under control & do stuff that we never use to think twice about.. do a little house cleaning or shopping & then pay dearly.

I still do not usually know which pain is myofascial, which is fibro or if it is herniated discs, arthritis, etc.. I also have spinal stenosis & recently read a post about That pain.. never before had attributed any of my pains to that dx..

Others live in my house & come in & out.. was finding I literally jumped every time I heard the door.. which tensed my muscles & = more pain.. so TV, sometimes on music channel, masks the noise helped avoid that problem.

My last furry friend passed several years ago.. as much as I miss having the companionship, I cannot provide the daily care they need.. in that way I have a nice envy of you.
Have a less painful day !!
