WARNING WARNING MAJOR FIBRO FLARE!

Where does it hurt ? I asked the lady next to me this morning at hydrotherapy.
She said "From the top of my head to my toes."  

I nodded. I knew exactly what she meant.

Today, I’m in the thick of a fibromyalgia flare. And if you’re reading this while navigating your own, I see you. I feel you. I’m writing this through the fog, not to educate or inspire—but simply to name what’s real.

Here’s what my flare looks like today:

• Increased pain in most of my joints (yes, increased—not new, just louder)

• Calf muscles that feel like they’ve run a marathon I never signed up for

• A mild headache, mostly in the temples

• Electric sensations in my lower limbs and hands—like static under the skin

• A strange lack of taste

• Blocked feeling in my ears

• Tinnitus that’s louder than usual, like a radio I can’t turn off

• Fatigue that feels cellular, not just tiredness

I’m not able to write much more today, so if you’re looking for something to read, feel free to browse through my older posts. You might find something that speaks to where you are right now.

And if you’re flaring too—please know you’re not alone. This isn’t weakness. It’s the body asking for gentleness, for stillness, for grace.

I’ll be back when the storm settles. 💜
