Yeah, me too, actually. The last couple days my hands have been hurting and two fingers feel a bit like they've been burnt in a couple places. When I mentioned that it's not a "miracle" cure, I meant it. Because I'm still under a lot of stress, the fibromyalgia symptoms build up again if I don't keep meditating/relaxing every day. And what happened is after they cleared up good early last month, I started writing like crazy and using the computer more. I've noticed that really makes me tense up, I mean, it's not just they way I'm sitting, I feel more anxiety and stress from being on the computer, and when I'm on it and really into what I'm doing, I don't even think about how much I'm tensing. But anyway, of course since the pain and discomfort improved, I forget more about meditating and relaxing, so now I have a flare up. Half the time I meditate, instead of relaxing away the pain, I fall asleep pretty quick. so I have to start doing it in the morning, and add a couple more times in during the day.

I wonder if you can tell if fibro symptoms have physical causes or mental causes by how much better you feel when you wake up. Like even before I got the 90% relief, I'd always feel a lot better after waking up (if I managed to get a good night's sleep, and not too sleep deprived in general), and in the evening and at night my pains and discomforts would be the worst. I wonder if that's common for the people like me where the cause is for reasons of stress and not some physiological reason... Anybody have thoughts or speculation on that?
