So I have been on this site for a while trying to understand all of this. I am almost certain I have fibro but I dont seen a rheumatologist until october. 

Heres my question, when the fibro flares up, does it feel like you can barely move?? Do you get stiffness and mumbness as well? These feeling I have in my legs are terrifying me and I am worried they are permanent. Should I be concerned or will it pass? I have been able to workout for the most part through everything but now it seems impossible. I need someone to talk to about all of this.

    Carrie, yes those are all symptoms of fibro. You may have to do something different in your work out. Walking and stretching are so very good. Take Ibuprofen. That takes all of those symptoms away for me. There are good days and bad days. No it is not permanent. Losing weight if you need to, watching gluten and sugar intake, exercising and eating healthy really helps.
