back painful memories for me....
For years my family had me convinced that Fibro was a diagnosis
hyperchondriacs received....
However after speaking to a professional and other patients like me the
disease is very real.
Fibromyalgia is a disorder that involves pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep
ing disorders Researchers believe that fibromyalgia affects the way your
brain processs pain. Its kind of like your brain is overloaded with pain
signals. So there for increases the amount of pain you feel for anything.
Fibromyalgia usually happens when other disorders are hurting the body such
as lupus, RA, and restless leg syndrome.
There are certain pressure points that your doctor can touch to make the
diagnosis. Let me tell you when he pokes you in those spots you will cry.
I was diagnosed with fibro and RLS. Both are incredibley painful. RlS keeps
me up all night because of the throbbing. I've been put on dopamines for
rls.
My fibro I am not currently taking medication for I just came to terms with
the diagnosis. I have an apt August 4th for treatment options....
When people hug me...my kids lay on my chest....massages...are all very
painful. I hate carrying my kids because their little heals always seem to
find those pressure points...its real...and it hurts.
