Howdy y’all!
I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a neurologist after seeing tens of different MDs in the last 20 months, and the idea of an incurable disease preventing me from doing what I love the most at 22 yo hasn’t been easy on my mind.
It first appeared while I was in the army after a traumatic injury during a run, and I’ve since been forced to resign due to my condition preventing me from even walking right, let alone be a soldier.
What’s weird Is that my symptoms only stick to the right side of my body, including lower leg, upper leg, right hip and knee.
In your experience, does this make sense as fibromyalgia? Everyone I talk to is skeptical about my diagnosis due to the fact that fibromyalgia is associated with excruciating widespread pain and I do not check that box, I have however also taken the test available on this site and it says I indeed have fibromyalgia. What’s your take?
