Did the doctors at the Mayo diagnose you? My fibro pain flares were triggered by Covid a couple years ago and since then I've had widespread body pain that travels around my body, along with severe insomnia. Before that I was having daily headaches, with pain at my left temple only, that came in flares lasting a couple months, and then they'd go away for a couple months. I saw many doctors and got several diagnosis, but I now think that may have been part of the fibromyalgia. At least Tylenol helped relieve the headaches. Now that I have the body pain, I no longer have the headaches and no OTC pain meds help. I don't take any prescription meds for fibro, except for a muscle relaxer on nights when I think I need it. It doesn't help that much so I don't take it often. Like you, I try to move as much as possible. I also have IBS and microscopic colitis but fortunately that doesn't bother me too much. My life has been flipped upside down too. There are so many activities I can no longer do, such as long walks, gardening, and socializing.

I see a functional medicine DNP who started me on lots of supplements, but they don't help much. I also tried a gluten free diet for 3 months and didn't notice any improvement.

Do you recommend trying to get an appointment at the Mayo Clinic? What kind of help did they offer?
