Hi Ken, Sorry to hear your wife is having a hard time. I was diagnosed 4 years ago with fibro. The symptoms you described are common...sounds like she is having a flare up..these can last a couple of weeks.....aches and pains all over. The not thinking clearly is what they call fibro fog....with me it comes and goes. I am 43 and currently manage my pain which is mostly in my upper body ribs and chest with Advil, heating pad, and flexeril a muscle relaxer when it gets too bad. I have found that stretching and light exercise help alot too. I try and get massages twice a month. There are several books available on Fibromylgia that have helped so much in understanding this syndrome and dealing with pain on a daily basis. I wish you and your wife the best...Beth
