I hate fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, , , , , , ,

As I look through the Internet comments, complaints, pain and intense suffering from the symptoms of fibromyalgia, I feel so much compassion and love for these human beings. I have compiled some comments below…

Letter to the evil disease: I HATE you fibromyalgia! For so many years I have tried to

fibromyalgia pain

coexist with you, treat you nicely, work around you. I have gone bankrupt treating you with massages, acupuncture, chiropractic care, water therapy, diet changes, just so you would calm down. Now I suffer all of the side effects of the pharmaceutical meds I take to put up with you! And every year that goes by you just get worse! And I hate all that comes with you! Isolation, depression, IBS, all of it! And to know that I will not be gone with you until the day I die is horrid!  by JS

It is helpful to help people who do not understand what I am going through ! Helps me understand I am not alone ! It affects my ability to function everyday ! I cry a lot because of not being able to do my own housework, take care of my family, doing the simple things in life can bring unbearable pain ! I have to miss a lot of church which is depressing ! I have other illnesses that cause more pain ! I feel so useless sometimes ! Without Jesus I do not know what I would do ! Pray for those that have fibromyalgia, know one knows the pain and suffering except you and God !!! by JCC

fibromyalgia brain-fog
Fibromyalgia brain-fog. I can’ get up.

Waking up is one thing, if one is fortunate to get to sleep and stay sleep for Amy length of time…going to sleep, washing up and still struggle to get OUT the bed is a whole different monster…. lately it takes me at least an hour to get out the bed.

I’ve been inside all day, decided to take a quick shower and get back in my gown, was sitting at the table prior to the shower, afterwards, searched high and low and was about to go to my car to see if my glasses were in the car, I don’t know who put them on the table where I had been sitting….. .daggone fibro fog — from online Fibromyalgia Group

“Tired of pressing through the painful smile, the excruciating pain in my knees, finders and toes, so the hurricane need to go on and die out” There are no real words to describe he terrible unyielding pain… https://www.facebook.com/pages/Online-Fibromyalgia-Support-Group/147126108688355

I have fibromyalgia; my symptoms are a flu-like infection that don’t ever go away. I am constantly exhausted and I can’t think and the right words are lost in my fibro brain fog. I have fibromyalgia; I can’t  sleep, I’m soo bone tired,  and  I wake up stiff and achy. I have fibro symptoms causing debilitating pain in so many places on my body.Fibro ribbon I just need to rest 18 hours a day!

I push and push but I get nothing done. I feel as though I have to push myself to get anything done, then I crash on to the sofa for hours without getting anything done. I think I really have Lyme disease.

I don’t believe exercise helps “modestly reduce pain” you just tolerate it more since the kind of pain from exercising is just more pain on top of normal FM pain. It makes smaller pain look insignificant sometimes compared to others. from https://www.facebook.com/FibroNetwork?

Fibro Pain: You wake up feeling like you have been run over by a Mack truck. You worry that you are heading into a flare. Do you recognize when your symptoms are on the verge of worsening? What do you do to cope when you are in a flare-up?

End Fibromyalgia Symptoms

In my struggle with fibromyalgia I was constantly experiencing back pain, especially lower back pain, and was misdiagnosed as having chronic fatigue syndrome.

fibromyalgia-symptoms-fibromyalgia-brain-healthy-brainI just did not know what to do or even what I had until I discovered on my own that the vast array of pains and signs matched the fibromyalgia symptoms.

I was able to say goodbye to my rheumatologist who was convinced that I had polymyalgia rheumatica once I had self diagnosed and began to treat myself with alternative medicine for my own pain management.

Q. What is fibromyalgia?

A. There are so many definitions of fibromyalgia, it is truly difficult to ascertain, and the truth is, what does it really matter what the label is that you put on yours pain? Especially in terms of establishing a way out of the nerve pain. Body aches, muscle pain and fatigue symptoms!

It wasn’t until I gave up on traditional medical diagnosis and treatment that I began to get relief from the symptoms that plagued me ever since I gave birth to my last child.

As I researched on the Internet, my google search led me to the Lyme disease Non Medical Diagnosis and Treatment book by Herb Richards where he explains how he and his wife kicked chronic Lyme disease in one year for pennies.

My research had led me to the conclusion that fibromyalgia was often confused with lupus, Lyme disease, myofascial pain syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis and ankylosing spondylitis symptoms.

In Richards’ book, he suggested using a natural substance that was so inexpensive – I couldn’t believe it!

I thought what do I have to lose?

I’ve spent thousands of dollars on doctors and their recommended chemical compounds. Why not throw a few dollars into a natural substance, if nothing else, just as an experiment.

How could I have possibly imagined that on day 13, I would experience a noticeable decline in my body aches and muscle pain? I thought maybe this was just hopeful placebo effect… Being somewhat skeptical, I continued the process because only time will tell.

Six days later I woke up with no neck pain whatsoever. I thought to myself, “How could this be?” Granted, the next morning, I did wake up with a little more neck pain, but it reduced regularly until a month later, I could experience a pain free neck.

I could go through the myriad of the amazing metamorphosis that I’ve been through… not to belabor it…

I would highly recommend Richards’ book, Lyme disease Non Medical Diagnosis and Treatment and consider investing pennies to overcome your Fibromyalgia symptoms for pennies a day.
