Fibromyalgia isn’t caused by damage to muscles or joints. It's a condition where the nervous system becomes overly sensitive, meaning it amplifies pain, fatigue, and sensory signals. That’s why pain can feel widespread, symptoms can change day to day, rest is necessary and not laziness, doing “too much” can cause delayed flares. Nothing about this means your pain isn’t real or that you’re weak. Your body is responding exactly how a sensitised nervous system does. Learning this can be a relief for many people, because it shifts the focus from fixing your body to supporting and protecting it 🤍

@Brittany Haney-Navetta Hi Brittany, I feel the same way. I was so active always taking long walks, working, caring for my children and others. Then suddenly a few years ago started feeling different. Unusual pain like where is it coming from and why now?? I also suffer with other health conditions of course but I’m so overwhelmed. Doctors running tests and finding out again you have another health issue. I just pray that we all one day get better and be back to our normal. It’s very hard especially when ones don’t know what you’re going through. I haven’t been able to work since 2023. I miss work. It’s a lot. Keep faith guys🙏🏽
