The symptoms of fibromyalgia is usually at its worst in the morning and it does not make getting up from bed any easier. The more severe symptoms include:
- Severe muscle pains
- Morning stiffness usually in the neck area and the arms
- Puffiness around the eyes
- Swollen feet
- Hurting feet the moment you start walking
- Exhaustion even after a good night’s sleep
Here are a few I was not familiar with, but sort of guessed since I suffer from them. My stiffness is all over my body though.
Read the article for some suggestions. A bath is out for me because I don’t have a tub and can’t get into or out of one.

Movement, (although stiff and sore) helps combat the pain of Fibro. Start with gentle stretching and gradually increase the ranges of motion. Symptoms improve as does quality of life!
