Pain is a Pain

[ginqueen]

Hi. I am new to this site. I am not at all sure what to expect.

I was diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclyonic Epilepsy at 14. When I was 25 I was prescribed Sodium Valporate (EPILIM) and I am 100% sure these are what has caused all my illnesses.

I am now 52 and have been suffering with many ailments for as long as I can remember. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2012. A diagnosis is not a cure but it is "nice" to have a name to put to my troubles. I have TMJ which causes me to have trouble eating (even though I am overweight.)

I have had my Gall Bladder removed and although it has eased the pain, it has caused a few other health issues. I have had a Nissen Fundoplication operation too. Operations aggravate my Fibromyalgia.
