We understand, but others don't. Healthy people don't, but would we want them too? (I have to keep asking myself that) lol. Mind/Body modalities are good, along with natural stress supplements. If it's really bad, talk to your doctor. Chronic Pain is a high-stress situation and you must protect your "brain" or stress. If it causes digestive issues, then that is the origin of most immune disorders. A lot is being learned and it's amazing.

How can anyone with Chronic Pain NOT have anxiety? 😉 Not only is there pain 24/7, but think of the lifestyle change, the losses we have. Ways to take care of the anxiety can be alternative or conventional. Never think you are abnormal.

I don't have fibro,but I have severe anxiety disorder which causes me a great amount of pain and angst. I can barely eat because the anxiety causes my stomach to knot up , is painful and at times I get very nauseous. I am very thin because it is so difficult to eat. I am sorry you are having pain too. I pray and that helps. Have you found anything to help your anxiety and pain?

I live with chronic anxiety. It causes me abdominal pain and nausea. People tell me to relax and not worry. Does anyone understand that if I could stop the anxiety , I certainly wood. I employ coping techniques , but they don't always help . I have medication, but I am trying to retrain my faulty thinking, rather than relying on medication . It is a daily battle. So, all of you with chronic pain, give yourself some compassion. Be a good friend to yourself. Prayers and healing to everyone.
