Hmmmm It is perfectly "normal" to go through a week or a month or several months long of fibro pain. And for most of us it never leaves us but we can get it down to controlled levels Sometimes it is because the medications are not right. Sometimes it is our bodies not cooperating with the medications. Sometimes it could be something like a hyper-sensitivity to something, laundry soap, outdoors, cats who knows, last month it was bananananananas. But I would say it is ALWAYS because of our body reacting to stress or stressors Stress gets to be a bad word in Fibro. 'Go home and don't get stressed" says the doctor. BUT it is not your fault or mine about how we react to stress!!! It's part of your genetic makeup, and the way you had to be 3,4 or 10 thousand years ago to survive... it's a long explaination so I will give you a link: http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/if-life-is-a-journey/why-oh-
why-oh-whywell-heres-an-answer-simple-but-true-part-1 It is important to understand this is not your fault, above all, and regardless of how many doctor's patted you on the head and said, "Its all in your head, little lady, go home and rest." Just keep learning and sharing and understanding, you did not do this to you but you can change what ois happening to you....baby steps.....baby steps darling..... love Natty gentle hugs and a peck on the cheek,

I dispense advice freely but you should take it with a grain of salt and do your homework and check with your doctor.
He gets paid more so he must know more. Right?

and several others here. I too agree with pscrog no need for guilt just joy that your hubby loves and understands you. Before you say "yeah I am, but do I use that angel for too much?" the answer is NO. I figured that out cuz you asked if you were, you wouldn't ask if you were the kind of person that would use him like that 
. We all have bad days, weeks, sometimes months and we all wish we could do what we did pre-fibro, its hard to live like old ladies in young bodies.
