Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed for sure for sure with Fibromyalgia this week. I've talked to a rheumatologist, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a hand therapist, a pyschiastrist and neurologist (for cognative dysfuntion aka "fibro fog") and a social worker about it and I think I'm hitting overload. There is SOOOOO much information about this and it feels like I'm being swooped in upon to get in the Fibro program. I'm glad. It means I can get some relief (three new prescriptions so far) and I start my treatment at Courage Center on Monday, but it's just now affecting me mentally. It's pain (which I've had anyway) but it's forever (which is kind of sad).
The best thing about the diagnosis is that I can finally feel like all this pain I've had for the last 15 years is not all my fault. It's not because I'm obese, it's not because I'm unfit, it's not because it's all in my head, it's because I have fibromyalgia.
so there
