I have Fibro and RA. Both come and go - have "flair ups." I am in at least a small amount of pain almost every day, but there is a big difference in my pain level from day to day. Sometimes I'll have some relatively pain free days or weeks and sometimes it's just the reverse: days, weeks or even months of moderate to severe pain. Also fatigue that goes along with it. I found that doing my own research and using self help ideas I found that way was at least as helpful as any doctor. Especially with Fibro, each person's experience of it can be very different. And what helps one person may not help others at all.
