Re: Re: Fears with fibro To KMRC

I can so understand the part about it coming on strong. I initialled injured by

back during a fall in Jan 1988 and then was hit head on by a drunk driver in

June 1992. I think the combination of these two triggered by fibro and other

health problems. I did ok on the pain scale until about 4 years ago - I just

really started going down hill. All of a sudden I could not hardly do anything

without extreme pain. Walking, bike riding, dancing - all caused major pain. I

did not know what was going on and just blamed it on the fall and accident in

the past and my hypothyroidism. But that was not the issue at all. I had fibro

and just did not know it. I am 42 and unfortentely my husband was not as

understanding - he decided he could not take it anymore and left in Oct 2006.

At least I now know what is causing my pain and will find a way or ways to help

so that I can get some of my life back.

My daughter is 10. The only symptoms I had for years was occasional numbness

and tingling in the fingers and being overly tired. I thought I had carpal

tunnel syndrome for years. I just laid the exhaustion off the everyday work and

stress. Then WHAM, at about the age of 39, it hit full blast and I knew I was

ill with something. It just worsened so damn fast.

Thanks,
