Re: Re: Fears with fibro To Christi

[Guest guest]

I know what you mean. I actually can look back over the years and remember

fibro flares that I just did not recognize as being fibro at all. I remember

times of going through weeks at a time in pain, but I was depressed first and

thought the pain was from depression. Of course it did not hang on like it does

now with the pain, and it was not nearly as severe as it hit me the last few

years. We are about the same age. I am 43.

How tragic... a drunk driver. And then you husband leaving. That is so

rediculous. You are probably better off without him anyway if he was that

unloyal.

Take care,

hugs,

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.

Re: Re: Fears with fibro To KMRC

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,
