I Am Applying For State Disability And Wondering If Anyone Has Had Any Luck.

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Anza, CA

My PCP asked for "letters" from my rheumatologist and my neurologist, but both told me that their after visit notes will have everything he needs. I also requested a letter from my mental health doctor. I am really worried that I will have a hard time.

Washington, AR

It seems as time goes on my body is much more #ensitive to usual pain for others,I mean like if I put my arm or wrist on a hard surface it seems to cause more pain than warranted. Is that normal?

A MyFibroTeam Member

Totally normal. We react to pain and pressure differently.

Electrolytes

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lafayette, TN

I'm curious if you have ever tried electrolytes for helping with pain?
I asked this because yesterday, I drank 3 big glasses of water and electrolytes and honestly, I didn't have (hardly) any pain. (When I'm usually atleast 6 out of 10 is my baseline) I was kinda surprised and just wondering if anyone had any thoughts 🤔

I Was Wondering If Anyone Has Been Experiencing Muscle Spasms/cramp In Numerous Parts Of Their Body From Waist, Neck, Shin & Fingers

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Derby, UK

Over the past couple of months my twin sister & I who both have Fybromalgia have started developing localised spasms/muscle cramps that can occur separately or can travel around the body as is the case for my sister. So I was wondering if this might be associated with Fybromalgia & if so, is there anything we can take that doesn't affect low functioning kidney & liver issues caused by sarcoidosis
