Re: Trauma, therapy and fibro flares...FIBRO..curable??

March 13, 2008

I hurt MORE when I have to have physical therapy. I get massage AND therapy.

..by the end of this time each appointment, I can walk out of the pt

department, and feel great..but as the day wears ON..I hurt worse by the end

of it then I did when I went to the therapy that day..

I cannot explain that..and it does not get better...I only get a small

amount of relief.

SOMEONE once told me that Fibromyalgia is CURABLE???Does anyone know about

that?

-- Re: Trauma, therapy and fibro flares...

My heart is truly with you. As in your case, mine was caused by back to

back emotional trauma that went back for years and years. I never had a

physical trauma, but plenty of emotional ones. It is hard to talk about

that kind of stuff. But, perhaps in the long run it will be some kind of

cleansing for you so you can deal with it better. Sometimes things affect

us alot worse than we realize.

I realized that some things in my past bothered me alot more than I knew

once I started facing it. She probably thinks it will be a healing process.

But then again, maybe you are not ready for the therapy right now.

Just to say I am thinking of you. Vent anytime. Hope you get to feeling

better.

love and hugs,

Hello everyone,

THere has been some discussion about past trauma and fibro, and

whether it could be the cause. I think that in my case, my past

trauma has caused me to go down this road of pain. I went to see my

new pdoc yesterday, and she asked me questions about my life to get a

baseline of where I am. I had to discuss my history of abuse from my

father, and other things that I have never really gotten over. She

diagnosed me as having bipolar, borderline personality and ADHD. At

first I was not in line with all of this, but after doing some reading

on the diagnoses, I see a lot of myself. It is scary to me to have so

many things going on, i feel like I have fallen down (or was pushed

down) a hole and it is never ending. Anyway today I am so fatigued

and I am hurting all over, I dont know if I am strong enough to " work

on myself " . She wants me to go to therapy, but I am afraid I will get

flares after every session. what to do...

Curable NO, Remissionable, is that a word? yes. I hope some day it can be

curable or held fully at bay anyway. But my understanding is since they are not

sure what has caused it and can be brought out in different people by different

causes they have alot of work to do, to find out what goes wrong and what will

cure that part in each individual. Sharon
