I am new to this forum (used to be on another FM support group website)and am too sore to write much today. I just don't understand FM at all. A nutritionist told me it was caused by food allergies....how in the world do you find out, if this is so? My FM really 'kicked in' full force when I began going through menopause (had hysterectomy due to cysts, enlarged uterus, unctrollable bleeding and endometriosis). I've not felt 'good' one day since and it's been over 2 years. I wake at night and feel like I've been run over by something. I've cut way down on my pain meds (due to adverse side effects) and am trying to find a way to combat this med-free. I get flack from my hubby about taking pain medication. He doesn't understand that a few Ibuprofen can't take the pain away. Why are some people so hard-headed? The only real relief I get is by taking a nap. Somehow, during the nap, I don't feel the pain, although I know sleeping all the time is not the answer. The last time I tried to exercise (even lightly, but for 30 min.), I ended up in bed for 2 days, recovering. I was so sore, even though I had only been on a stationary bike for 30 min. at a slow pace. I've tried so many medications (which don't work) and am tired of my life passing me by. My youngest son (10), asked me last night "Are you always going to have Fibromyalgia?". My pain specialist said he feels it was caused by going through 8 surgeries. I just don't know. |

I'm just invisible! And that does something to you, you know?
