I had the dreaded doctor appointment today to confirm my diagnosis and while we are waiting on blood work to be sure everything is ruled out my doctor is about certain it is fibromyalgia. At 22 suddenly having such bad pain that you cannot move....its....it's just been alot. My hands are weakened and shake a lot which does make a lot of my loved activities harder, as well as making daily life harder. The doctor gave me something for the pain and for the first time in weeks I sat here sobbing because I finally had some relief, still achey and have some symptoms but I can move and right now that feels like a huge success. I have dreams of becoming a naturalist and using my knowledge of plants to help and teach others, besides my family, but as you may be able to guess this monster in front of me makes it a lot harder. I feel guilty like "Oh some people have it way worse" or "Your not fighting hard enough" but then I see that yes my pain is valid and so is my issues, I'm a tough person and I've always been too stubborn to quit which is more than helpful right now. I'm hoping I wrote this in a clear manner I'm just writing as it comes to me and trying to organize it the best I can.
