Hello all, I am new here, my name is Jill, I have been suffering with Fibro for all of the 32 years of my life. It had taken my mother and I 31 years to get a diagnosis, I had seen several doctors, and been told many times that I am a hypochondriac or that I was displaying drug seeking tenancies, among several of the other things that us Fibromytes are told on our search to find answers.  I am experiencing a lot of problems right now that I had not previously experienced, such as severe burning pain, skin irritation from clothing, morning foot pain and stiffness, and a lot of other things! I thought that things couldn't get any worse..and yet every day they seem to get a LOT worse! It is nice to have found this place so that maybe I can feel not so alone, or so weird! I am Jill, THIS is not all in my head, and NO I am not crazy!
the bra seems to be my mortal enemy, a weird 19th century torture device most obviously designed by a man! |
There are certain types of cloth that I just can't stand to have near my skin, it's like having a sunburn everywhere. I take a nice warm shower in the morning just to wake myself up and relax enough to walk to the car. Glad you found our fibromite family, you will find some of the best people here.
And my family on both sides have tremendous longetivity, seems every one lives well into their 90s. So i guess i have a lot to look forward to in my old age
