I have fibromyalgia symtoms every day? Is that the normal pattern?
Hi Dr T., One doctor told me that symptoms of fibromyalgia should be symptomatic only in a day or two in a week. If symptoms occur everyday, something is making it flare up. My CRP and ESR are all fine. I lose weight when I start working, I gain weight when I go vacation. Thank you for answering.
Answer
Your doctor is wrong. In most people, symptoms are active most days. L&B, Dr. T
