Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hi. My name is and I live in NJ. I just celebrated (if you could say that) my 38th birthday although I feel like 90. Yesterday I was officially diagnosed with fibro. It was a hard pill to swallow even though I knew that this would be the diagnosis since I've suffered for a few years now. My adult life has always been filled with alot of stresses but I thought I handled them well however my health always suffered. In 1997 I contracted parvovirus and since then, I've never been right. I've also had Lyme disease too but all my bloodwork for bacterial infections were negative. So, here I sit with my new diagnosis and trying to find out how to cope with it. The fatigue is horrendous and the pain is horrible. When someone asks what type of pain I have - all I can tell them is that if they were to grab my arm even lightly, it would make me want to scream and for hours afterward I would feel their fingerprints on me. Does that make sense? I hope to find out useful information on this group! L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
