you know, i would not be at all surprised if the rash of fibromyalgia flares is related to allergies, even in people who aren't aware of having allergies. it's all autoimmune, after all, and autoimmune stuff tends to trigger other autoimmune stuff. if i have a bad allergy attack, my arthritis always acts up violently.
This happens with my fibro and it is part of the reason that I take diphenhydramine every night even if I'm not having an acute allergy attack right at that moment. They are both auto-immune syndromes/problems and most doctors don't make that connection.
My flare started in early March (I think) and I have noticed that the onset of spring always brings a flare, despite everything I do. I attribute my easing of it (somewhat) to traveling out of the country and to an entirely different climate, where I had only one day of respiratory allergies (from traveling away from base camp and into actual foliage-infected areas.)
