What causes severe pain over entire body when you ...

Fibromyalgia

1

Sleep - Sleep is essential for healing Fibromyalgia and you should aim to get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep every night. Make your bedroom an oasis - calm and relaxing. Do not watch tv or use the computer at night before bedtime. Keep a consistent schedule and meditate or listen to soothing music before retiring to sleep.

• 
  Step 2
  Exercise - Another crucial element to healing Fibromyalgia and feeling better is exercise. Yoga, swimming, and walking are the best forms of exercise to choose. Make sure to do some form of exercise every single day for about 20 to 30 minutes. Stretching after waking up, before and after exercise, and before going to bed can also be beneficial.
• 
  Step 3
  Supplements - There are many different supplements that have been tried by people to help with the ailments of Fibromyalgia. Try different treatments and find what works best for you. Some popular choices are fish oil, Sam-E, garlic, and grape seed extract. You should also take a multivitamin every day. I also recommend taking 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 probiotic, such as Sustenex, daily as Fibromyalgia sufferers are prone to yeast infections.
• 
  Step 4
  Diet - Eating a healthy, balanced diet should be a part of your treatment plan. Choose organic fruits and vegetables when available, and avoid processed foods and preservatives. Follow a low carbohydrate plan and avoid anything with high fructose corn syrup, or that has hydrogenated on the list of ingredients. Avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners. Use small amounts of honey or agave instead.
• 
  Step 5
  Happiness - Make sure to find time daily to include things in your life that bring you joy. Listen to your favorite music, or look at pictures of beautiful flowers or the ocean. Watch your fish swim in their tank or cuddle with your pets. See a doctor if you experience symptoms of depression. Antidepressants can be helpful for patients with Fibromyalgia

Two comments:

1) You really answered your own question by listing all the maladies you suffer (I'm sorry). Several of them -- esp fibro -- include lots of pain and stiffness in the mornings. I, too, suffer from RA, fibro, and a few others just for good measure, and I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. You've got to get up and be active, Judy, but take it slow. You get no points at this stage and age for speed.

2) Masterflagger has done a tremendous job of describing fibro. While you read many articles claiming that opioids have been shown to not be that helpful for fibro, I can tell you that without them, I would lose my mind (or what's left of it). So if that is in your arsenal of medications, don't feel guilty about taking it! Just be careful you don't overdo it.

As a fellow sufferer of fibro and chronic fatigue, I know that pain. Getting up and getting moving eases most of it for me. There's never a time I'm without pain, but once I get moving it gets better.

I wish i could get vicodan. It helps a lot. And also helps to relieve many of the depression symptoms I have. But doctors these days seem to feel it's way better to be suicidal because you're in constant pain that to be possibly addicted to something that might actually relieve it.

I'm sure exercise would probably make me better, but the chronic fatigue syndrome puts a hitch in that, in that anything I do physically, I pay for. Severely.
