Mosquito Bites

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Santa Ana, CA

Anyone else feel crazy when you get mosquito bites? I know they can be bad for anyone but I am curious if Fibro makes the inflammation from the bite worse. Mine always swell up real big and I wake up every two hours at night wanting to scream. Can anyone explain if and why there might be a link with Fibro?

I get mosquito Cellulitis from their bites. It takes a long time to get rid of the rashes and the itching is the worse.

I am swelling too like never before. It’s strange. I am not sure if it the insect type or me. Yes, I too am up all night with itch creams. I feel your pain.

I have noticed that when I get bit, the entire area burns and itches at the same time. It seems to last for quite awhile. It horrible.

I have always had reaction to mosquito bites but on a recent camping trip I had several bites and they swelled up like the size of an egg.

Sounds like you are allergic to mosquitoes. My daughter is allergic to their bite and the bite gets as big as an egg and is VERY itchy. 2 out of 3 of her boys, my grandsons, are allergic also. I don’t think it has anything to do with your fibromyalgia although the pain from the bite might get worse from the fibromyalgia. Apply and reapply that bug spray. Triple E is out big time so be careful on outdoor excursions.
