It seems to depend on the person. Some people seem to continue to

spiral downhill despite what the doctors say, and some people seem to

stay at the same level. Don't forget, you tend to see people who can be

a little worse on support groups, although not every one is. I have a

friend with fibro, and she hasn't gotten worse, she still works a 40+

hour job, and doesn't do support groups. I, on the other hand, don't

think of my fibro as bad because my pain isn't to the level of a lot of

people on this group, but it's bad enough I had to quit my job, and am

basically housebound most of the time. So no one can say exactly what

will or won't happen to you.

I am not a doctor but I think that fibro does get progressive. When I first

started having symptoms and then when I first got it, I could still much of

what I always did but now I find that there are many things that I can't do,

although I still try at times.

I agree with you that getting older seems to make it worse. It could be a

combination of the problems of getting older and the fibro. I don't know the

answer but I am worse and I feel that the fibro is getting more and more

painful as time goes on.

Irene and Darcy,

Thank you for your reply. I agree that it DOES seem to get worse with age.

My sister suffers from it worse than I and she is 6 years older than me. She

wasn't nearly this bad even 3 years ago! I can't hardly believe the decline.

That's one of the things that make me think that it does progress. I am

glad to know that some do not experience that. It gives me hope that maybe

my condition will stabililze soon.

Peace and Love,

,

This is STRICTLY speaking in my experience....I have noticed I get

TONS worse when I'm stressed out...the more stress I have in my life the

worse off I am, but that doesn't mean everyone else feels the same...

When its rainy out I ALWAYS feel worse...and winter time is the

horrible for me as I have Rheynauds as well...so winter is like living in a

frozen hell so to speak.

So I guess if you feel similar to me my advice would be....don't get

stressed and live in Jamacia in the winter time...lmaooo

I was talking to a friend yesterday, and she asked if I had a time of

the year that was good, and after I started in about my allergies

bothering me exceptionally bad in the summer months, she asked why I

didn't move north! I told her my allergies would just follow, and my

fibro doesn't like cold weather, so I'm basically out of luck no matter

where I'd try to move. So I'm staying here!
