To the non-LJ person who emailed me asking me to describe my symptoms, I will give you this link, if you are still reading my journal:
http://www.fibromyalgia-symptoms.org/fibromyalgia_widespread_pain.htmlAnd no, that deep burning ache does not go away no matter what I do; even if I have no other pains, that ache always persists. But I can try to control the intensity. I'm getting good at pushing through the pain.
Yes, coffee can help. Usually a double espresso or a latte works for me. And yes, the 100 mg of CoQ10 helps a lot.
(I realized that other people might want that link, which is why I've posted it here)
