Many people with fibromyalgia experience something called hyperalgesia, which is when your nervous system reacts to pain signals more intensely than it should. Even a small bump or gentle touch can feel overwhelming.

What does it feel like for you, constant, triggered by certain things, or totally unpredictable?
Have you found anything that helps calm it down?
