Hi my name is Lara - I was diagnosed with fibro about 4 years ago, which was 5 years after all the problems developed...and that was when I gave birth to my son.
I had excellent health prior to giving birth. Problems occurred with epidural (I keep thinking maybe fibro stems from this - anyone else heard of this?) where it was put in the wrong place and had to be reinserted. Intense migraine like nothing I had ever experienced. They said the headaches would ease and disappear. They did ease but didn't disappear. They were milder, but frequent for 4 years. But also the aches and pains that I could only describe as 'flu' like symptoms was almost unbearable. nothing natural worked for me. I got depressed from this ghost like illness with no-one able to tell me why. So I isolated myself. I was meant to be a happy new mum. Instead my body was no longer mine. I wanted to sleep for a year. But nothing helped me until I went on antidepressants when my son was 4. THey only helped me for 2 years. The pain returned slowly over time and I decided to come off them beginning of this year. Slowly. Then I felt like someone came and visited me every night, because every morning I woke up feeling like someone hit me with a bat so violently. My body ached like nothing else. I wanted to sleep from the pain. It was horrible.
I had heard about something called 5htp and SAMe, that tablet combined is called PROXAN (in Australia). That took away all my pain and fibro fog in 2 days. I was like the old me. I was sooo happy. And it's been working for about 5 months, but I get days like I did today, where the fibro returned with vengeance. There was no warning - or am I just missing the signs?
There has to be something surely, that can fix this. I am so lost. Every time it returns, I can't cope, I isolate myself from family and friends. no one understands. I am so lost with this pain when it comes back. There has to be an answer. I don't know what to do. My shoulders hurt my neck hurts, my body reacts by curling up. I look like I am walking on eggshells.
I am a fighter, but this thing is too much sometimes. Like I say, my natural medication has been so amazing. I am scared that it's going to stop working - if so, I don't know what to do. I need help. I am tired of being told to go for bloody walk on the beach. I need to know what else there is.
Please - can anyone please help me...
