I have been living with it for YEARS. For me...it's major flare ups....some days are great, some weeks are great and then BAM...I am in constant pain for a while. It has mostly affected my elbows, legs/hips and back/neck. I know someone who has it and she lives with constant pain.
Fibromyalgia is normally brought on my some sort of trama to the body...like a car accident. I was in a really bad roller blading accident back in 1998 and have never been the same. Flare ups can be caused by a variety of things like stress, lack of sleep, etc....
I get very painful burning in my back (like someone removed my spine, lit a match and sewed me back together) and in my hips....to the point I can't sleep.
If I am having a flare up, I can't put any pressure on my elbows...they hurt so bad.
My neck pretty much always hurts though and I have very frequent headaches.
I also suffer from Restless Leg...pretty much all the time...all day long....it sucks!!!
Good luck!!! I hope you find relief!!! Congrats on joining WW too!!! YAY!!!
