To date I like most of you have read a bunch of medical stuff about Fibromyalgia. I have noticed a common thread of supposed truth. while no one knows the cause, many doctors believe that fibromyalgia begins after an event. Whether it was an illness, or a trauma, many docs believe that it begins following an event. For me, this fibromyalgia seems to have began after an event that occurred in May of 2007. In May of 2007, I experienced severely compromised ability in memory and cognitive thought, and I experienced migraines and vertigo. Later I suffered a mini-stroke. But I am now left wondering was that a separate event or the initial onset of fibromyalgia? I am curious because I was tested for everything under the sun including a cat scan and 3 MRI's, a nuclear bone scan and a nuclear heart scan. They also did a ultra sound of my heart and an ultrasound of the arteries in my neck. Also as you can imagine, the took 20 tubes of blood and did 4 separate 24 hour urine tests, and they performed a breathing study and a sleep study, and a neuropsych evaluation. The results of all of these tests were that I indeed had memory problems and my cognitive abilities were indeed impaired, but they did not know why. Then the doctor sent me to the rhuematologist, who said that I definitely have fibromyalgia, he gave me samples of lyrica. So, my question is how many of you, my new fibro-friends, think that fibromyalgia is brought on by an event, or did it just happen on its own with you? |
