Re: Fibromyalgia ...hereditary

[Guest guest]

My aunt on my dad's side (and my only blood aunt) has

fibromyalgia as well. What I don't know is if she got it after

she had a hysterectomy in the 1970s due to Uterine Cancer.

The theory put forward to me is that

when you are in a traumatic situation

you go into " flight or fight " , in that moment

your brain does not care that it

leaves permanent damage it is only

interested in getting out of danger in

that moment. That adrenaline blows out

your alpha waves and alpha waves

control sleep and without sleep your

body cannot repair itself, and that is

why you can get psudeo fibro after

3 days of sleeplessness. Essentially

our body can no longer repair like

other people and thus " end systems

failure " occurs and most of the

lupus, arthritis, endocrine etc are

end system's failures, it won't

kill you and thus you live in a

permanent semi hell, which a friend

of mine worked out the hard way when

he went on night shift for 5 weeks

best thing that ever happened to

me.

Walk a mile in my shoes and then

call me crazy.

another member says the wrong way.  And that includes the things that one

deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a

sense of humor.

I guess that would explain how I developed this demon called Fibromyalgia. Last

February my best friend of 32 years committed suicide and I went into a state of

shock and severe deep depression. My best friend was everything to me, we did

everything together. I would even go to Houston once a Month to visit for the

weekend. That was my severe trauma!!

This is interesting. 1 My GrandMother has Fibro. She was diagnosed about 10 yrs

ago. She is my Mothers Mother. 2 On my fathers side, I have 1 Aunt and 2- 1st

cousins with MS. I think I had some symptoms about 5 yrs ago but not bad. I

think that was when the mental fogs started because I remember complaining to my

1st husband about the inability to concentrait and feeling " stupid " and

forgetting and being tired alot. Then shortly after that started my first

husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and only lived 23 days. I was 35 and I

went through the MOST awful time of my life. There is literally about a whole 2

months after he died that I really don't remember anything at all. Then when I

got myself together and met my 2nd hubby and remarried, I was about 6 mo.

pregnant with our son for some reason I think I had this idea that my 1st

husband was away or something subconciously because it hit me very badly that he

would never be back and I went through another depression.

I not was predisposed to anything like depression before this all happened in

my life. It was when I was 6 mo. pregnant that I noticed increased fatigue and

muscle pain. Of course it took a long time to figure all this out because I was

pregnant and older and the Dr's where aways focusing in on that. I also tried to

explain away alot too. Things do seem to be getting worse symptom wise. I have

good " weeks " and then wham back I go again. Stairs are so hard sometimes and the

last bout I had, I had to be careful because I fell a couple times. I quit

smoking recenly and am gaining weight soooo fast. I hate it. Also in the

hospital when I had a mile a gram about 3 mo. ago (Will NEVER do that again!!) I

had a reaction to the dye and I was very sensative to the morphine for pain. I

don't post much cause I really hate to complain. It is nice to see I am not

alone here.

I certainly agree. When we talk about traumatic life events, that is when we

have turned on our survival skills and put our bodies into full alert mode. It

is just that our bodies never turned it off. This all much sense to me.

I will add that I have always been an anxious person and was diagnosed with an

anxiety disorder and depression years before the fibro kicked me hard.

love and hugs,
