I have also experienced this with the loss of my father recently. I have had days I hurt so bad I just sit and shake and cry. Then I have to pull it together and go to work. I am the sole income for my little family. I also just found out I owe the IRS a lot of money. Am trying to refinance my house and pay them off. If I am unable to do so, I will owe them $200.00 a month for the next 6 years! Unreal. I have a 2014 F150, the only thing I've ever bought on my own, besides my house. It looks like the solution may be to sell it, pay them off then take the remainder and buy another vehicle. It's only a piece of metal after all, right? You gotta do what you've got to do to survive. I'm taking it one day at a time. I work tonight and tomorrow night. Just have to get thru these next 2 shifts. Now I have bone spurs in my neck and am doing PT, not doing too much to help that I can tell. So I go back to the pain doctor Monday. May need injections in my neck. My problem is telling fibro pain from neck pain. Anyone else have the pain behind the shoulder blades?

My fibro gets worse with a major trauma.

I am so so sorry for your loss. Have you been in touch with your doctor?

When my dad passed away I went through the same thing. I couldn't walk ... needed a walker to get out of bed, the sheets hurt, migraines , the water from the shower hurt, if I tried to take a bath I couldn't get out... it hurt if someone touched me and tried to help get me out, felt like I had the flu. I went to the E.R. and they gave me a shot.( At the time I didn't know I had Fibro ) I went through a horrible time with a Rhuemotologist shoving Oxycotin & Oxycodone scripts at me. It worked for 6 months. Then the pain escalated . The dosages were more frequent and stronger. If u think pain meds. may help get you through this flare up it could be an option. ( Short term)
If you can see a psychiatrist to help you with anxiety and perhaps an antidepressant it may help. Also, grief counseling .
Before anyone yells at me for pushing meds. everyone copes differently. I workout 5 days a week now. If I am having a flare up or know I have a busy week ... I cut back on my workouts.
Unfortunately , the grief and stress take over your brain and body.
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. One hr. at a time. Then baby steps.
Listen to your body...Ignore the people who tell u to get up and move on. Everyone with Fibro. has different symptoms at different times. Every person goes through the grieving process at their own pace.

I have been through this stress of bereavement with same fibro pain/attacks two years ago. Let body rest and try not to feel guilty about letting go and going with it..let yourself cry or howl its a release - Its so tough. Lay in bed listen to radio, try magnesium flakes baths great to soothe leg and hip/back pain. Try gently floor exercise on yoga matt and build gradual progress in the pockets of time when you have a little less pain. Then self soothe and congratulate self on the small steps. I have found nobody else can soothe away your pain so self talk like repeating, peace, peace, or serenity, serenity simple words to distract from the inner voice that rises saying help, help..wishing you well x
