My shoulders and neck have been really sore lately. I had been blaming it on Fibromyalgia because of the weather changing. We are going from highs in the mid sixties to highs in the mid nineties in like 5 days, with it being as low as 39 degrees at night and this just messes up my Fibromyalgia to no end.

It JUST NOW occurred to me that it might be tied to the enormous amounts of anxiety I have been feeling lately. I might be holding the tension in my shoulder area.

Last night I sat with a heating pad on my shoulders for about 10 minutes and then put Icy Hot on and went to bed. I will probably try to do the same thing tonight but also add ice then heat then icy hot.

I've been trying to manage my anxiety without medication, when I can, by relying on deep breathing, meditation, etc. But I just sort of thought, hmmm this might be anxiety related (as well as the Fibromyalgia because weather changes always affect me).
