Levels of anger have been shown to be higher in FMS patients compared to healthy participants, as well as patients suffering from other pain conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis). FMS patients had also showed higher levels of state and trait anxiety, worry and angry rumination than other chronic pain patients.
I understand

Yes, my fibromyalgia pain kicks in about 3 times a day, if anyone talks to me during that time am very grumpy back.

I devised a way to let those I love when I do not feel well and that is I give them a thumbs up. This works very well, so far.

I totally get it,anxiety is really heightened now and I struggle with emotions ,sometimes I think we are just exhausted, misunderstood and its hard dealing with outside stresses

Hi All,
All of the above. I feel better knowing allot of my symptoms are common with FBS. My question is: Due to the fact they’re such a broad spectrum, how do we know how many of them are completely related? I guess with all the studies and the medical field becoming more aware of it is a huge contributing factor. I have so many but lack a few on many occasions.

Yes absolutely. Any form of stress increases our pain.
Here if you need anything.
Hugs 🫂 💜
