Hi ((Barbara)) and welcome! I too am sorry you have this nasty stuff. I'm glad you found this great place! NeuroTalk is wonderful, all of the subforums have ownderful people.

Wow Donna! Do you have a massage therapist that has good training with fibromyalgia therapy? Be sure and let them know when they are hurting you. My therapist is excellent at gauging what's going on with my fascia and muscles. Sometimes when she touches me and it hurts really bad it's surprising to find out she's putting very little pressure on me. So it doesn't take much to hurt you when that fascia is so flared!

Maybe you need someone with more skill in this area, I'm just not sure. I haven't bruised from my therapy.
