Fibromyalgia is very real and very painful. There are ways of learning to deal with it and not letting it take over you.
What is fibromyaglia
Fibromyaglia is a very painful muscle sketal condition that causes pain throughout your body. It starts in the nerves of the muscle. I was daigonsed with this about a year ago and although I did not need to have another condition listed to many that I already have in sort of a strange way I was relieved. Relieved in a sense that it's not just me and this pain has a name.
For whatever reason many have trouble believing that fibromyaglia exsits but I am here to tell you that is does and unless you live with it like I do you will never understand what people like myself go through. Yes I can be ok one minute and the minute be in a great amount of pain to the point of it stopping all of my activity. One thing I am so tired of hearing about fibromyaglia is all the theroeis behind it. While some may be true I don't really know nor do I care.
One theroy that I don't really understand is that fibromyaglia is suppose to be connect with depression. I don't get that because Im not depressed, my doctor has explained to me about my case. He has said that if you have old injuries that have not healed properly or other conditions fibromyaglia can happen. You I have scolosis in my back which is where your spine isnt straight and when I was born my right hip was not completely formed. So this makes much more sense to me.
Before I move on to what Im going to say next let me start by saying that if you have fibromyaglia not to stop or start anything without consulting your doctor. This is course that I've chosen to take in dealing with fibromyaglia. I chose not to medicate for this condition mainly because I already take so much medicine that I have to take. The thought of another pill or more medicine made me sick thinking about it. So I've chose to do physical therapy and pain mangement clinics as well as herbal remedies for flare ups.
If I had any of final words to share about this condition I guess it would be that if you don't understand something dont deny that it exists and if you know someone that has it dont dismiss their pain as not real eduacte yourself.
