Why does my body keep trying to go into painful flare ups

I understand what you’re going through. I’ve been there done that.
Do a diary and you might think I’m going over a board, but this diary needs to be of the following. What you eat and drink during the day, Lotions soaps, you use anything that your body come in contact with.. Also, laundry soap, perfumes, fresh sense are not your friend
By doing a diary, you will be able to track what you’re doing what you ate what you used when you have a flare
And yeah, I think you’ll be able to figure it out
When you go to the doctor, Take a list of your questions and things are not comfortable with. You could also take your diary of your life
For me, chemicals are not my friend so the least in my life the better I feel
I hope you can figure this out

@minnesota10 @leora6 great advice. I built a symptom tracker that I filled out daily to understand the patterns and severity of symptoms. It’s very helpful when talking to doctors. I figured out that I’m in perimenopause, which is like throwing a grenade on fibro.
I would also recommend finding a traditional Pilates studio where you can do 1:1 sessions. Pain is no longer my primary fibro problem and I’m also hypermobile. The breath work with mild exercise is great for fibro.
