The more I learn about Fibromyalgia the more I think I have had this for a very long time.

I remember being 14 years old and going to bed by 9pm for school and still not able to get up the next day so I would stay home and sleep all day until around 2 or 3 pm.

I also remember being 12 and having the worst PMS cramps and also around that age I would get terrible pains that would shoot down the backs of my legs.

I have had dizzeness all my life and have never been able to lay flat on my back and always have to sleep with two pillows.I also have always had ringing in my ears.

I also get the chest pains. I can't tell you how many times I went to the ER or my doctor making them run tests on me to make sure I wasn't having a heart attack.

I also remember a few times I cried because my back or arm was hurting but then it passed just as suddenly as it started.

When I was pregnant I couldn't stand to wear a bra or pants because they hurt me. I thought it was just part of being pregnant.

When my daughter was one I started getting migraines because my muscles in my neckl and back would not relax no matter what muscle relaxer the doctors put me on.

My knees have almost always given out on me and caused me to fall. I have never been able to run like other people because of this.

The list goes on and on.

I was always so sick as a child but never had a proove it (my mom brings this up to me allot).

I now hurt every day of my life and sometimes I can't handle it very well.

I think maybe I have had this since childhood.
