Learning about fibromyalgia

If you feel lost in terms of how to cope with fibromyalgia, know that you’re not alone. As you read earlier in this book, there’s a lot of misunderstanding about fibromyalgia. Having a better understanding of your pain and what’s causing it can help change the way you think about it. In turn, this can help improve how well you manage it. Understanding what is — and what isn’t — wrong with your body can be reassuring and encouraging.

People with fibromyalgia tend to spend a lot of time focusing on their pain and why it’s not going away. This can make you feel anxious, angry and afraid. These feelings only make pain worse. Or you may be plagued by worries of a flare-up. Many things can cause symptoms of fibromyalgia to increase all of a sudden. A virus, the holidays, travel, overdoing it, having house-guests — the list goes on and on.

Knowing that there are tools available to help manage your thoughts and your condition is encouraging and comforting. It provides a sense of hope that can make a difference in your attitude and in the quality of your life.

“You can reduce your triggers and lessen the effects they have on your pain, fatigue and other symptoms.”
