Some days it’s not god awful and other days I am just in bed. I seldom get my pain below a 7. About 6 years ago I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis so I have the muscle pain/ache of Fibro and now the joint degeneration of PsA

The foot pain can be unbearable at times. Have you tried Gabapentin ? I was on that and it helped a bit. I then went on Lyrica which is really just a refined version of Gabapentin. I also take Flexiril which is a muscle relaxer which helps a bit.



Getting consistent sleep is a huge help. Altho when your body aches it’s so hard to get it.

Do try to learn to pace yourself ( I suck at it often) but pacing can help. Look into the “ Spoon” way of coping. It really does fit how our abilities change from day to day.

Most of all be kind to yourself

Thank you so much for taking my pain seriously. I have taken Parasetamol even today, but feel better now.

The exam of my left arm will be on Thursday. I'll know more then.
