Fibromyalgia has a whole host of symptoms
Sensitivities to lots of different things
Are among the most difficult to get your head around
Loud noises can be unbearable
And certain sounds make your skin crawl
And exacerbate your other symptoms
You develop sensitivities to foods
That you’ve never had problems with before
Making it hard to know what to avoid
Bright lights especially at night
Can give you the worst headache
And it makes driving difficult
Your skin becomes sensitive to the touch
Even a brush of the skin can hurt
Or a gesture like a hug excruciating
Certain smells can make you ill
Even nicer smells like perfumes
Can make you nauseous
Sensibility to heat and cold is most irritable
As any weather extremes can set off your symptoms
And leave you bed bound
These are some of the reasons a social life can be hard
Just going out for a meal can set off so many sensitivities
So please bear with me if I’m struggling
Hello Fibro Blog 
I definitely find the temperature sensitivity one of the harder things to deal with because I seem to be endlessly cold, and it’s miserable. Luckily, my skin isn’t too sensitive to touch, though I’m ‘delicate’ when it comes to hugs or someone poking me or grabbing me as a joke (usually my dad!) without realising it hurts so much. A very apt post because many don’t realise the sensitivities, the way they can affect so many areas of day to day life and put challenges in the way that others don’t necessarily have. xx

Me too! Being cold is the worst. No matter what I do I just can’t get warm once I’m cold. Exactly! That’s why I felt the need to write about this… It’s just a forgotten part of fibromyalgia with such a big impact 💜
