Have had severe RA all over my body for about 6 years now

Too tender to touch

Lately, I've had extra noticed pain in my shoulders, arms, and ribcage area. Those places literally hurt A LOT to be touched. I scratched an irritation near my ribs, which caused severe pain.

Migraines complicate FMS which complicates migraines...hmmm

I have chronic migraines, which rather became chronic because of the Firbromyalgia and co-triggers (such as severe photophobia). Apparently this also makes my migraines more difficult to treat, as a result I have had some extreme problems finding a preventative for the migraines. I am now trying a combo of Lyrica and Cymbalta... both... Read more Chevron
