New member with Fibromyalgia

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

I am so glad I found this group.

Over the last year I have seemed to have come to a point where pain has become a

focal point in my life. It will be nice to hear from other people who can

relate to my situation and possibly give me some advice on how to cope better

with this nemesis.

Right now my main problem is 5 bulging discs in my back. I have tried all sorts

of treatment but my fibro is complicating things.

Finding a doctor that understands what is going on has been a battle in its

self. My muscles are over reacting and contorting my skeletal frame out of

alignment. When I try exercise it causes the muscles to tighten up even more

and then they will not stop the spasms that are painful themselves.

As a consequence I have probably compounded the situation by not going out much

and isolating myself. I figure it is easier to stay at home and be myself

instead of going out in public and trying to 'put on a happy face' which I do

without thinking. I just don't want to feel like a complainer or bring other

people down. Can anyone else relate??

Well I am not going to give up. Today I am going in to see yet another

specialist. All I can do is keep trying to find some person or place that will

help me on the road to recovery.

Thank you for listening.
