Fibromyalgia Flare-up
What causes a Fibromyalgia flare up? That is something I have been trying to figure out for over 3 years now. So, tonight at 8:30 p.m. my body decided to completely give out on me. No advanced warning...no preview of coming attractions... just flat-out locked up and said "I'm done!" I probably should have expected… Continue reading Fibromyalgia Flare-up
