For me..

Wide spread pain in my neck, shoulders, chest, back, hips, knees, ankles, arches of my feet.

Constant tiredness, but trouble sleeping. Waking up never feeling like I've had a good night sleep.

Headaches, dizziness, nausea, depression, fibrofog (memory impairment),numbness in legs and heals, fluctuations in weight, heat or cold intolerance, chemical allergies.

Basically like you have the flu all the time. You feel like your limbs weigh a tone. I use to be a Scout (like Boy Scouts) when I was younger. One night we built a hut out of sticks and bark etc. Our hut was at the bottom of a tree so I spent the night sleeping on tree roots. This was before I was diagnosed but waking up the next morning was similar to the pain I feel every day but imagine having the flu on top of that. So if you ever want someone to know what it feels like to have Fibro just for one day get them to sleep on tree roots in a hut while they have the flu!


I hope it's not what you have. It's terrible. I have both Fibro and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have had Fibromyalgia since I was 11 and CFS since I was 15. I'm 18 now and it's ruined my teen years.
