i am 24 years old now, and all my life i have been pretty srtong and active...
would do the non norm' of house work decorating you name it i did it...
i still try to now, and forget i can't..
i have 2 children darryl 5 and haydn 3, just before haydn was concieved i broke my ribs.. and had on and off troubles with that.. though some of the pain i felt i remember feeling when i was small...
after haydn was born i started getting pains in my legs from feeling really heavy and dead, like someone had cemented my feet to the ground... it would come on and off over a few days etc, then after 3 months i had trouble walking altogether could just mange walking into the next room..
then after six months it stopped a bit my legs came back to life a bit, i see Dr's who done MRI Scans and couldnt find nothing, just dosed me up with pills and said come back later.... so i just lived with it, 2 years later i decided to move after a break up with my Ex
i started getting mega pains in my chest ignored it for ages and one day i couldnt the doc rushed me in thought i was having a heart attack....
tests ex-rays you name it they tested me for it, and the results......... nothing wrong with me, the consultant said it might be something 'muscleskeletal'.... i thought
OOOOOOOKKKKKKAAAAAAAYYYYY... he didnt try to explain or give me the chance to ask... went home with more pills...
after about a month the doc referred me and i see a rheumatologist, he said i have costo-chondritis... (chest-pains) and sent me to a physio' and i had some acupunture .. huh that lasted long, when i said yes im feeling better after a few weeks they stopped my appointment.. 'just cos i felt better didnt mean i was cured'
anyways went back to doc and sent me back, and the rheumy was diff person this time and said i do have fibromyalgia and costo-chondritis...
in the meantime of all this going on new symtoms burning sensations in my shoulders and neck, dizziness achy arms,itchy skin.. pain pills make me feel sick, so i try not to use them unless im in mega mega pain...
i use a wheat bag that you heat for 2 mins in micro;' and put it on the ache. ahhh bliss it is soo nice i recommend that... i also use bath herbals they dont take much of the pain away but the smells help you to relax in a warm bath....
and the naughty NO NO i drink quite a bit when i get depressed or the pain is too much the drink helps me forget about it, though this isnt recommended....
in the meantime of all this my sis in-law wasnt long dxd with FMS and she asked me to look ofr it up on the net (this was b4 i knew about me having fms) when i loooked i cried i realised i suffered similar symptoms then took it to my doc's, at this also time i am told i only think i have it to be like my sis in-law and im making it up... there is no way i would want to make something up like this..
half the things i used to do i cant even think about doing now,.....
anyways wont bore you no more, speak sooon
