fibromyalgia flare up symptoms

Hi there. Emotional and physical triggers can cause a flare in fibromyalgia symptoms. A flare is usually accompanied by constant pain and lethargy. You might find difficulty to sit, stand or lie for even some time. the triggers known are strong emotions like depression and anger or stress, too much exercise, beginning of an illness, cold,damp weather or extreme heat, any stress on body. That noisy neighbor could affect your health indirectly by causing anger or stress in you. Hope this helps.

I have Raynauds phenomomen, so my hands get very painful when they get cold and because of the rheumatiod arthritis my joints in my hands get red and hot. You know all the doctors always want to put people on antidepressants for Fibro but I've yet to hear that they work at relieving the pain. I know several people like yourself is on something but they still have pain and the numbing and tingling. Have you been offically diagnosed.

For the past week or so I've had severe shoulder pain. It's only when I lift my arm and try to turn it to the left at all. (it's my left shoulder) Could I being having a flare up due to the change in weather? I forget and the pain is so bad when it happens I actually cry out. I don't know why I keep forgetting or maybe I'm trying it to see if it still hurts. Is anyone having flare ups right now in the northeast?

So my question is, has anyone else had a flare up of symptoms after an EMG and/or nerve conduction test? The nurse (of the neuromuscular specialist) says that there are no side effects from these tests and seemed very doubtful of my reaction. My family doctor, however, feels it threw my nervous system into overdrive. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. What do I do?

ve always had symptoms of fibromyalgia but never real bad but after I got that Sinus Infection my symptoms of FM became Severe. I also have a family history of Fibromyalgia, my Father, Aunt, and first cousin has it. My symptoms are so severe that my doctor had to put me off of school ,and on to homebound, where a teacher comes out to my house and brings me work twice a week.

Yes, many people with FM get 'flare ups' where the symptoms will become more severe, sometimes just for a day or two or it can be weeks/months before they subside. As far as i know, it generally is known as a chronic condition. My tender points are always tender to the touch and i always have a certain degree of pain somewhere, luckily not usually so bad to stop me doing things. I have spoke to people who sometimes their tender points aren't always tender.

(Which now makes me aware that my activity during these flare-ups may be the defining pain factor. Is the flare up actually system wide and joints being used exacerbating the pain?). Migration will continue. Previous flare up 10/15/10 Only Neck/Shoulder/Elbows/Hands/Fingers affected. Mostly joint like pain. Lasted 3 weeks. Previous flare up 9/02/10 with lower limbs affected only. Unable to walk for two days due to knee pain and joint stiffness.

My question is could a flare up happen that long after treatment and that long after such an extended period of feeling fine? I do not think I got reinfected either, because I used to live in PA where Lyme disease was very prevalent, but now for the summer I have lived in an area of the country where ticks carrying Lyme is not common at all. I'm planning on seeing the doctor soon, I'm just curious what you guys think.

I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have all the classic symptoms. But one thing I have experienced for a lot of my life is Erythromelalgia. I experience flare ups- I can’t pinpoint what brings it on. My hands get red, hot, itchy and sore. Usually on the palm side and it can travel up into my fingers or down in my wrists. My ears sometimes get inflamed, my scalp along my hairline and behind my ears, and sometimes my knees too. It can last a few hours, to days.

The Epstein Barr seemed to clear up after about 8 months (I felt more energetic). My fibromyalgia is focused in my back, ALL of my back; upper, lower, middle, and both sides. F.Y.I. I also have osteoarthritis and osteopenia(?) and (in case it's relevant) I had whiplash (upper back/neck) in Dec. 1987. Now, my questions are: Do Fibromyalgia patients typically experience 'flare ups'?

So my question is, has anyone else had a flare up of symptoms after an EMG and/or nerve conduction test? The nurse (of the neuromuscular specialist) says that there are no side effects from these tests and seemed very doubtful of my reaction. My family doctor, however, feels it threw my nervous system into overdrive. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. What do I do?

My tongue is still having these sores develop at the tip or sides of my tongue, but nowhere else inside of my mouth. I was wondernig if anyone else experiences the same symptoms during a flare-up or if I should be worried of something else?

This last week though I have been having the worst and most scary flare up of my life. My symptoms are burning pins and needles in my arms and feet are painful and uncomfortable heat sensations that are mostly in my feet. Are these common symptoms of MS flare ups? Now I am very stressed about the thought of medication. I was looking at copaxone but read studies that it increases the risk of breast cancer being an immuno suppressant so I am very scared.

s not that! Or maybe it could be fibromyalgia?? what is the tingling symptoms of fibro like??? ahhh this is sooo bloody horrible! PS i am a 20 year old Female with a 7 month old daughter just to let you know a little of my background and i don't have any STDS/diseases etc... thanks heaps, hope you can help.

Anybody else experiencing a major flare up right now? I have been at the point where I can barely move at times the last few weeks. My PCP pressed on the trigger points, and they were highly sensitive. He said the ones used in movement were the ones most affected. He told me that I needed to stay home, if possibe. He said that my muscles and joints were affected, and gave me a steroid shot. I can barely do anything with this burning.

I burn all over deeper than my skin. Wake up In early morning and everything feels cold then the burning begins, sometimes in waves. A couple years ago diagnosed with Fibro. Had not seen a rheumatologist since then. Saw her today she thinks it's a flare-up but took blood also. Does anyone else experience their Fibro this way? If so, what do you do for comfort?

I am having a flare up. It started app. a week ago and has progressively worsened. Does anyone know how long it will worsen for ie is there usually a point at which the symptoms plateau?

Is it possible for my thryoid levels to flare up again within 12 days? I plan on contacting my endocrinologist tomorrow to tell her what is going on. I am not a doctor but I was thinking that maybe I should have decreased to 15 mg. I'm planning on getting my thryoid removed Jan 2013. I decided that having it removed would be better than RAI for me because of risking the chance of my eyes getting worse. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and I would appreciate any feedback.

However a progression is taking place in that the major pain has now moved into my arms, shoulders and hands as well as neck. I also suffer from rheumatoid arthrosis but the flare-up and the quality of life issues are related to the progression of Fibromyalgia,My gastro- intestinal problems are major bloating as well as intestinal problems that started even before the Fibromyalgia took over my life.

hi. i'm 21 years old and about a month ago my doctor found EBV in my bloodwork. i asked her to do bloodwork because i was having, and still am having- low to high fevers almost every hour of the day for 4 months now. along with the fevers are aches, chills, hot sweats, fatigue, dizzyness. i really just feel like i was hit by a truck. these fevers are really taking everything out of me.

So I guess I am just curious as to what other people experience with their fibromyalgia and when it acts up for them. Mine acts up mainly when its cold and sometimes with warmer weather changes as well. I am not for sure but I think I have had some flare ups when I was under stress.

i have had so many physical and psychological problems such as hypermobility, rhumatoid failier , irritable bowels, reacurring headachs, i get swallen liver and kidney infection (for which couldnt be explained) and also had some seriouse problems with post traumatic stress disorder as a teen (thankfully i worked through and recovered from this by the age of 20 years old) i want to believe that it is fibromyalgia, purley because this is the only answer that i have had in my 3 years with these pr
