I've had chronic pain for a long time: neck, back, hands, asthma/lungs
The pain increases when stressed. But when I'm hypomanic, I don't notice the pain as much. Anyone have this too?

I have Bipolar 2 and have Scoliosis. So yes I have this. My doctors gave me meds for it.

I have Fibromyalgia which flares up fairly often and causes great pain all over my body. It definitely increases with stress and almost disappears when hypomanic, both of which I have read are common. I am sorry to hear you have chronic pain. It can be hell.

I don't seem to notice mine as much when I'm hypo. I have been thinking about this for a while, and I feel like it's a loop: stress makes my pain worse, which makes my BP worse, which makes me physically feel worse, then I'm anxious, then my pain gets worse....
It's almost so I can't function some days.

It sounds like the pain associated with bipolar depression. when is it maximum? Also, does stretching your muscles help decrease it?

The thing is, I don't have the depressions. We're still trying to figure out how it is I get clearly hypomanic but not have the depressions. (Note: my Dad has clear cut both depressions and hypomania - he is about double my age and never treated). I do feel situational depression but I always throw myself into activities to forget whatever is bothering me. And I'm not suicidal which I have my cats to thank.
Anxiety, sitting for long periods in a bad chair, and heavy lifting really flare my back up. That and not walking or doing my physical therapy exercises for a couple days is the worst. Stretching really does help tremendously!!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
