A flare means that your symptoms are worse for a while, then goes back to your normal pain etc.

Years ago my doctor was treating me for anxiety and depression. She gave me two antidepressants and that helps my all over body pain. I still have chronic pain in my neck, shoulders and upper arms. Also I now have osteoarthritis too. I'm now 69 years old and was diagnosed 24 years ago.
Moving and getting exercise helps me the most.
I hope you are having a good day. Huggs

Fibro flare is when pain or fatigue is more intense

Ms Shay has quite a few health problems, my poor sweet sister.

And lots of emotional/mental stress aside from just pain that as we all know makes our symptoms and pain worse.

Add in not being able to afford much in American Ins medicine and/or appts. A hot mess

Ms @Shaytoya
I liked your question.

Thank sometimes ppl say flare up when maybe it's not.

I like the one person's response about us having a base crap line to being with and then it becoming worse for one reason or another.

You got this chickie!
Dunno how
But you are kicking ass a lot more than you think or I'm sure it feels like- in general or pain wise.

I hope you get a break soon from all your alien demons running amok.

You know where to find me if needed.

I'm lucky to have met you and you be my friend. And I think we would've been even if neither of us so sick.

Love to you and your fab fam.
