I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia shortly after my c-section, but I believe I had it before that just not as severe. I have PCOS and Graves Disease, but the Fibro is worse than both of them put together. My thyroid disease has gone into remission for the time, so I don't have to take as many meds but all the symptoms of this horrible disease truly makes me feel like I am dying. I had heard about fibro and chronic fatigue syndrome for years but even I doubted the real impact that people claimed it had on their lives. Boy Oh boy! I was sooooo wrong! Every day when I wake I don't want to get out of bed because of the pain I feel. When I stand up I hurt so bad I get the chills and goose bumps, I just want to cry. I am on pain meds , antidepressants, blood pressure med, sleeping pills vitamin D and B12 injections I give myself. Most times it doesn't seem that they work and then I realize that yes, they are working but they can only do so much. I have a 2 yr old and she is the light of my life, I had her late in life, I am 41. But no matter how hard it is to get up and get going I make myself because with my daughter in my life I am truly blessed. I have probably every symptom and even more that I forgot.... I forget everything, so I write it down on notes and then forget the notes. I was always a very happy, easy going person and I am not now, it really has changed my personality negatively. I miss doing things and not constantly feeling so lousy I can't enjoy life. Wow, I needed to get that off my chest. I could keep on going but I think you all know it already, That is why I am here because I need to talk with people that know what it feels like. Thanks for listening.
