Hello, I'm obviously new here and a little lost but not as lost as I was. I've been dealing with intense chronic pain since July last year. I've been through x-rays, CTs and MRIs over my back and head to rule out disc problems, fractures, tumors, and MS. I've had a nerve and muscle study done which only resulted in very overactive nerves. The conclusion although not written as a diagnosis yet, I don't think anyways, is that its probably fibromyalgia. Every specialist I've been to thus far, the "f" word is the one that comes up.
So that's about the fibro, about me; I'm 31, stay at home mom of two girls and wife to a wonderful husband who has been a saint through all of this.
This spring I was fortunate enough to make a friend of my neighbor who gardens (and who has a wife and daughter who battle fibro and who have for a very very long time). Its a hobby I've always wanted to do but never knew anything about and he's been teaching me and helping me with my yard and I've been trying to help with his, and soon I think we get to start on his daughter's yard as well, whenever the weather decides to let us. I'm very weak, weaker than I thought I was, but I'm staying with it, and having a blast even when I'm dying by the end of the night, I've been trying not to let the pain get the better of me, but its really hard discovering that I have limitations but not knowing where those are, and hence why I am here.
Sorry for the long windedness, and look forward to meeting all of you.
