Usually I can trace what sets things off. Pushed too hard, skipped PT, didn’t sleep well. But this week? Woke up Tuesday at pain level 7 with no idea why.
Been pacing fine, work’s normal, sleep’s been decent. The flare just happened. What’s scary is not having a trigger to avoid. I know fibromyalgia doesn’t need a reason, but spotting patterns makes me feel in control.
Without that, I’m just waiting and hoping it doesn’t spiral into weeks. Does anyone else get flares with no obvious trigger? What’s your pacing strategy when you can’t figure out what caused it?
