I want to thank you for your post. I have had FM for 40 years - perhaps longer. My family is the worst in understanding chronic VS acute. All of what you and @lfisher66. said has been me. There were days I was in so much pain and many times it would be totally in a different place. I've had all medications and the side effects to the point where my vision was going. The worst was being told I needed antidepressants. I have never been depressed, even with pain and the side effects were vicious. I am frightened of taking pain killers because of addiction but my wonderful rheumatologist understands. I loved the video, Here is a doctor who does understand the pushing and crashing. When one gets so few good days you want to do as much as possible when you feel better. The cramps are the worst. My whole foot cramped one night and I could not stretch it or rub it, nothing but try to walk. My physiotherapist told me to try a ball under my foot, fantastic. That is all it is, try different things to get past the pain. Thanks for that video and best to @lfisher66.
