Hello may I ask how long you've been diagnosed with Fibro? I've had it about 35 years diagnosed over 20yrs years ago.

There's no doubt fibro sucks that's for sure. But I try and deal with it on a day to day basis and deal with the symptoms as they show up.

I'm sure we all understand how you feel. Have you spoke with your doctor about how you are feeling. Do you take medication? Maybe your GP could try you on something else. If your feeling so low I would strongly advise you seek your doctors help. xx

I had fibro 13 years diagnosed but more likely had it for 25 year, i been to doctors and he is great he sending me for more tests re heart burn and gallstones but he thinks i might need a operation for both as for medications i on the ones that seem to work best i have a lot of problems with medication, i just had enough of everything getting worse.

I going to hubby to look at setting to turn private i took me 30min to write this i not great with words

Yup totally agree, not tolerating pain killers leaves me where????? Get infections, can't tolerate antibiotics. Fibromyalgia is hell and IBS is the sting in the tail ☹️

I know exactly how you feel. Every time I eat I get terrible back pain and sometimes chest pain. I’ve got a chronic anal fissure caused by ibs constipation which I had an operation for2 years ago for but I’ve still got it. Constant headaches and migraines, fatigue and sleep problems, GERD and a hiatal hernia and I’m going to see a urologist in a couple of weeks. It never ends.

Totally empathise. Voice your concerns: make sure you're heard and taken seriously by your medical caregivers. Insist on thorough investigations. You know your body like no-one else. Identify things that distract and delight you. Don't let anyone stop you from focusing on you. Revel in your (many) strengths. Find your tribe. Find your happy. x

I read a very interesting book about pain. Pain is the bane of my life. I wake up in pain I go to bed in pain. Pain is relentless but the book has helped me to understand what the purpose of pain is a little bit more.

The book focuses on a true story of a doctor who is fighting the battle against the Leprosy disease. Leprosy means that you don’t feel any pain at all. In fact people with leprosy can’t even tell how hard to hold something without breaking bones or skin. Imagine holding a broom to sweep and breaking your fingers because you can’t tell when to lay off the pressure?

Anyway the book helped me to understand that pain is a warning system. The body is very intricate in how it works, take an eyelash for example, you can hold an eyelash between your fingers, feel its thickness and apply just enough pressure to hold it. Put the same eyelash on your foot and you probably won’t feel it at all. Put it in your eye, however, and boy it suddenly means the world stops. It’s all a big warning system because left untreated in your eye, you will go blind, which is what can happen to people with leprosy.

This has helped me appreciate for want of a better word, the pain I feel. Yes my system is amplifying it but it’s still warning me. It’s my pain. Mine. It can be completely overwhelming but I’d still rather feel it than not at all.

Sorry if this doesn’t help, I thought I’d just share it because it has me.
