i have tight muscles but i only noticed that it helped me relax to go to sleep. i felt nothing in the morning that was different than usual. Alcohol is not a medication and there is the danger of addiction. please be careful with this

My FM symptoms get profoundly worse the next morning when I've consumed even a small amount of alcohol the night before (but it's even worse if I consume a lot). In fact, the fact that I do experience worse symptoms correlating to alcohol intake was one of the key reasons a FM specialist gave me the FM diagnosis.

I think drinking acohol makes me better. I know it shouldn't do this but when I drink it steadies me. I don't drink alot or very often, or at least I didn't until I realized how it helped my balance. This is totally opposite of how it should be.

very slowly and without me realising alcohol is making me worse. No a little but so much so i can get up. im only 26 and i cant even enjoy a drink to relax anymore. Fm is ruining my life far more than the Lupus i have suffered with since i was 13yrs. I think alcohol white bread pasta and anyhing high in suger is making the symptoms so much worse. avoid my friends.
