Ok we all know there are good days and bad days and some really horrible days with our pain. My question is, are your tender points always tender??

From my reading in the past, tender points & trigger points are two different things.
I do get trigger points (TrPs) and I do have some tender points. the TrPs can be resolved (usually) buy manual TrP therapy - pressing til the pain dissipates. TrPs can cause referred pain and symptoms in other locations. scroll down on this link for more info on TrPs & then another section on it has links for FM & tender points. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post388-1.html and there are latent TrPs also - usually after you resolve the active TrPs the latent ones may show up as sore then.

Well, for me no. There are days when my "tender" points aren't all that tender. It doesn't mean the pain is gone just that it isn't as severe when touched. I suppose like everything there are good days, and not so good days. I just try to be overjoyed with the good days and cope as best I can with the bad ones. Best of luck to all of us.

I just posted to your poll.
Thanks Jo-Mar for the clarification! Both for me are always there but I don't notice until someone touches me. My massage therapist is trained in working with fibromyalgia. She finds those spots in a heartbeat...like magic. Sometimes when I say "OUCH!" she'll tell me she's barely pushing. And that really varies from visit to visit. She knows when I'm in a bit of a flare.
