Yes, I was diagnosed with fibramyalgia several years ago. But the aching and weekness in my legs has just gotten noticeablly worse. I am anemic and also may have a slight blockage of blood flow to my heart. I am having a test for it next week.

Probably. I know that in additon to my Fibro, I have bursitis in all of my major joints, which makes things much worse. Getting trigger point injections, I hope they help!! You may want to see a rheumatologist. good luck.

I am new to this, but this question sorta goes along with this topic.
If Fibro effects the muscles, are you doing exercises on a regular basis and find it helps?I feel my tendons are working harder than my muscles. (thus tendonitis and bursitis.

probably to do with one of the comorbid condtions that FM people get unfortunately.
I have Hashimotos disease and when my hormones are off it gets worse, also worse with my osteomalacia (vit d deficiency/calcium deficiency).
I have had days where I was so floppy and in pain I feel like I had lets and arms made of wool :(
Get better soon

My feet and ankles have swollen this past week. My exercise has increased...and I feel like crap. I get muscle cramping, weakness and pain. You are not alone.

Not only do my legs feel like wool, at same time feel like lead! hn next day I may be able to walk upstairs with no pain and feel 'normal', So I have had to accept that I go with the flow, hour by hour, do what I can and when body says stop/ rest, I try to. I don't always 'listen'but it does help to reduce flare-ups.

I have myofascial pain mostly in my legs, glutes and some in my arms. I have found that doing a gentle stretching of my body and articulating my spine has been very beneficial! The program I learned was called Awareness Through Movement (ATM). It was developed by Moshe Feldenkrais. You can download free lessons through iTunes and YouTube. I had some real ah-ha moments with this and hope it helps some of you too!

I walked today as I was feeling lousy with a weather change on the way and the walking really exhausted me to the point where I can't even think clearly. I am going to have an afternoon nap as I just can't keep going and terrible foot pain as well, I don't know how I got home from my walk. Does anyone else find that sometimes excercise makes you feel worse???

Yes, exercise can make it worse if you do too much. I learned that the hard way. I was an exerciser all my life and didn't know how to do less than 45 minutes to an hour at first. But I started with yoga stretches, walks around the block and now warm water exercises (which feel the best) yet in moderation. In time you can build. I take D ribose and NT factor which help the cells of the body with more energy and regeneration and then in turn, seems to help with doing a bit more exercise without severe pain.
