I felt better this morning from the fibromyalgia flare up I had yesterday. It was a rough night of sleep, but I got through OK. It’s starting to come back around though as the day goes on. Spine pain is very high. One of the horrible parts of this pain combination is that each one triggers the other. Fibromyalgia makes the spine pain worse, and spine pain makes the fibromyalgia worse. It’s this perfect shit storm cycle that is nearly impossible to break out of. It breaks when the disease decides it will break. I’m not sure which one caused the problem today. I think the spine pain is driving it today, but can’t be sure. There’s a general, all-over pain that’s not from my spine, though the spine pain is high.
This has been an odd flare up. It eased up this morning, then came back. It’s not as bad as I’ve had them. I feel like I’m at a point where I’m ready to shake it, but it keeps going up and down. It got better in the afternoon, then it’s getting worse in the evening. Things often do get worse in the evenings/nights because the pain of the day accumulates and starts to magnify.
