Do You Have Stomach Pain with Your Fibro?

I’m thinking that I’m going to have to change the companies I work for. Sure, I know that stress is horrible for fibro but there just doesn’t seem to be a way around it. Lately on really stressful days I’ve been getting sick to my stomach as well as a sharp pain. If I stop the stress it goes away.

I’m going to have to see a doctor about it. With a lot of things whenever I go to the doctor I get “You have fibro what do you expect?” However, it’s hard to know what is normal with fibromyalgia and what isn’t. Granted, my illness started off with Crohn’s disease and this pain is kind of reminiscent of that pain but it’s very much related to stress. So, is stomach pain a normal part of fibromyalgia?

    If your doctor rules out other causes then its probably fibro.Stress is such a huge trigger for fibro.For me stress causes my muscles to tighten up instantly then go into spams.I hope you find a better job,i just stopped working due to fibromyalgia after 12 years of doing daycare.

    If you’ve been previously diagnosed with Crohns, then I’d be checking that out too - stress can flare it up as well.

    However that all said, stress can cause significant pain all on it’s own - trying to find ways to decrease it and deal with it more effectively is a great plan. If you can access therapy or other mental health support, jump on that. :)
