I had managable FM for 7 years before I was in a car accident that left me with 5 bulging discs (in all 3 areas of my back), a bad shoulder, and a tilted pelvis. My FM symptoms became severe almost immediately after the accident and 6 years later continue to be severe. I have a severe inflammatory type of FM, I am told. I am swollen almost constantly; muscle, and joint & nerve pain (to different degrees) constantly;moderate cold intolerance, but severe heat intolerance. My muscles can become very painful and lock up in temp. as low as 70 degrees. I feel like I have had the flu for 6 years
