So confused - fibromyalgia and bones aching severely

Hi. I totally understand and feel everything you described in your message. I was diagnosed back in 2015 and I honestly ache every day of my life. There are days that are better than others but nothing seems to relieve the muscle aches I experience. I even sometimes describe it as my "blood" hurts. At least, thats how I feel. I am so sorry your too are dealing with Fibromyalgia. My doctor tells me all the time that I need to get out more and move around more. He says that people with Fibromyalgia find more relief when they are more active. For me, I have no energy to do that personally. I rarely leave my home unless it is going to a doctors appointment. It sucks but I say it beats the alternative. Thank God I (we) are ALIVE!!!! Stay strong and hang in there. I am a Believer and I firmly Believe that one day, someone will find a "cure" for this terrible disease. 🙏🏽

I too after 40 years of fibro feel like everything hurts. I cannot go outside in cold or rain or my pain level goes way up for days. I have to watch the weather and plan grocery shopping on days it should be warmer an try to go for a walk. If I can't go out I walk around my home to get my muscles in my legs active so I won't get the neuralgia. I am also a believer and look forward to no more pain.

Is your doctor that you're seeing a rheumatologist? If not go see one. They have all the information on what fibromyalgia can cause. And it's everything from a to z.
I am on gabapentin three times a day. 800 mg.
Does it take away all the pain heck no, but it helps a lot better than nothing.
I used to like ibuprofen, but I had a heart attack a year ago and I cannot take it at all anymore. So that complicates things because that was my go-to, the pain was from the cold changing temperatures .
Wish I had better news, they can get into maybe a rheumatologist he would have a lot of information on what all fibromyalgia causes. The day I was diagnosed my doctor was able to give me pamphlets that listed the things I can plan on. If you can't for some reason or don't want to ask the doctor you're seeing or even Google it.
Take care of yourself.
