Fibromyalgia flare
Coffee and every other brand of tea I've ever had as not given me a flare, but for a lot of people with Fibro, they sure as heck will give them one. Foods like lime give me one as well. Since I stopped eating red meat, my flares have not been as bad, but they do suck.
In the past when I was flaring I would be laying in bed praying for it to stop and it could last several days.
For some strange reason the two years and some that I took care of Mom and that she was in the care home, I never once had a flare, and my joints did not hurt at all. I was able to walk to see her every day in the home.
So what does a flare feel like? Muscle pain from hell, itching skin all over my body, a burning sensation on my genitals, a violent headache in the front of my head, feeling exhausted. It can also come with an upset tummy, and the poops. I often feel cold when I get one as well, but not today.
I'm lucky that I cycle fast - this will probably be gone tomorrow. Some people it can be years before it ends.
