those are very good words I like you have the exact same symptoms hands going numb I think is the worst for me I used to love to blow glass, write , play guitar but anything that has to do with using my hands or fingers and repetition for more than a min they cramp up or go numb.
you are exactly right when with your attitude towards it I think the best therapy for this pain is attacking it with a good attitude and hard work stretching exercising and being positive.
it does help to know there are others out there who can manifest/imagine this intense pain with their mind.

Beautiful, empathtic post SeesFar.
I notice a trend - those if us with Fibro - wonder about genetics.
Warn about medications. Encourage gentle forms of excersize and body work.
Talk about diet changes - which help!
Mention self Love and acceptance in some form.

I actually have been working with my hands trying to get strength back in them this last summer we rescued two young green horses and have been breaking them, with the end of summer the horses have been getting burrs in their main and tail it takes 30 min to get all of them out doing that almost daily has built my tolerances up,
I think doing different things using all the muscles lightly and fish oil I know that helps I notice when i dont take my flaxseed and fishoil for a couple days.

I was just noticing the same thing.

Despite reporting flaws, there has clearly been an increased incidence of all the neuro/systemic degenerative diseases since World War II and especially since the 1970s with the arrival of previously unheard-of diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and AIDS.
According to Dr Shyh-Ching Lo, senior researcher at The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and one of America’s top mycoplasma researchers, this disease agent causes many illnesses including AIDS, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn’s colitis, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Wegener’s disease and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s.
Dr Charles Engel, who is with the US National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, stated the following at an NIH meeting on February 7, 2000: "I am now of the view that the probable cause of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia is the mycoplasma..."
I have all the official documents to prove that mycoplasma is the disease agent in chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia as well as in AIDS, multiple sclerosis and many other illnesses. Of these, 80% are US or Canadian official government documents, and 20% are articles from peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine and the Canadian Medical Association Journal. The journal articles and government documents complement each other.
Testing via Mosquito Vector in Ontario
The Government of Canada had established the Dominion Parasite Laboratory in Belleville, Ontario, where it raised 100 million mosquitoes a month. These were shipped to Queen’s University and certain other facilities to be infected with this crystalline disease agent The mosquitoes were then let loose in certain communities in the middle of the night, so that the researchers could determine how many people would become ill with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, which was the first disease to show.
One of the communities they tested it on was the St Lawrence Seaway valley, all the way from Kingston to Cornwall, in 1984. They let out hundreds of millions of infected mosquitoes. Over 700 people in the next four or five weeks developed myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
The body undoes the damage itself.
The scarring in the brain of people with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia will be repaired. There is cellular repair going on all the time. But the mycoplasma has moved on to the next cell.
In the early stages of a disease, doxycydine may reverse that disease process. It is one of the tetracycline antibiotics, but it is not bactericidal; it is bacteriostatic—it stops the growth of the mycoplasma. And if the mycoplasma growth can be stopped for long enough, then the immune system takes over.

uric acid level was a little high .. but he puts that down to me not drinking water.
iron stores are 31.. which is low but as i said they have always been.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder affecting the soft tissues of the body (muscles, muscle coverings and ligaments) over a widespread area from the neck to the knees.
