What are aggravating factors for Fibromyalgia Syndrome?

It’s not a lot but it helps. I’ll also do light stretching…

How exactly has Fibromyalgia ruined your entire life?

Fibromyalgia did NOT ruin my life, but when I tell you what it has cost me thus far, you will think I’m mistaken. And the worst thing of all, after being able to proudly say that I am a nurse, I can no longer legally say it. I went on full disability in 2015 because just remembering a doctor’s order was impossible, or a diagnosis, or a name! Maybe it’s an inner me, I really…

What made you think you needed to see a doctor and be diagnosed with Fibromyalgia?

Yes, I was diagnosed in 2001. In 1999, I suffered a back injury at work. Even though I followed my treating physician’s advice, including physical therapy and home exercises, the pain in my back just wouldn’t ease up. Within a year, I had widespread pain that felt like I’d overtaxed my muscles. (To this day, the area of my injury is extremely sensitive to the touch, as if someone kicked me in the sacrum.) My…
