I agree about the smell of the nail chemicals. Alot of my friends get acrylic nails, but I can't stand the smell! Thanks for the info Doreen, I was never sure if they were trigger points or tender points. My most tender of them is on my shoulders. OUCH!

Sometimes, the skin around my shoulders and neck just burns. It is the weirdest feeling. It gets very sensitive to touch, too. Are the burning muscles I get when I exercise due to the fibro, too?

As for hair color, I have heard of henna, and I do dye my hair red, so I might look into it. I am pretty manic about my hair, tho, it is my one streak of vanity.

Good luck with the perm, Doreen!
