Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Deb and Cheryl, That bit about patients with fibro being more sensitive to pain is correct. What most docs do not understand is that this particular condition is pervasive and not usually confined to one spot or area of the body, although it can flare up in one or two areas at a time. Also, when it flares, the entire body is involved, like with SLE, and it hurts anywhere there is connective tissue, as well as in the 18 "hot spots" that are used to gage the condition during an exam. Pain management issues are part of the lives of Fibro patients, without a doubt. Good luck, ladies, and keep us posted on progress, 'k?
