I've decided that I've been dumping too much on my friends and family so maybe I'll talk to all of you out there in the interwebs. Three months ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The frustration of a chronic disease along with the stigma of a diagnosis that not everyone "believes in" has made this a difficult diagnosis to deal with.
Wrapping my mind around 'there is no cure' and 'I'll be dealing with this for the rest of my life' is nearly impossible. If I catch a cold, in seven to ten days I'll feel as good as new. If I break my arm I'll wear a cast for six weeks and it'll be healed. To realize that medical science has no answer...it is mind boggling. How do I go on? The doctor can only give me advise, not answers.
So I start my new life...a huge collection of pills, an exercise program, a physical therapist and a chiropractor. Together with my doctor we forge ahead to find out what helps me feel better.
