Hello fellow Fibromytes!
Hello to all in the Fibro community of LJ!
My name is Lisa ((aka NAT)) and my doctors have concluded that I have had fibro since birth. Juvenile fibro has different symptoms and I've always had intermittent chronic pain since as early as I remember! But it would be good for a day or two then hurt a lot.
7 years ago this July my life was changed forever, I severely broke my hand, it was healing well, when the cast came off my hand was weak but I thought I'd make a perfect recovery, little did I know there was an insidious monster lurking called Fibromyalgia, within 6 months after the cast was off, I still had pain beyond belief.
I went to many doctors and they would poke or prod, one told me I was a fat (120lbs) midget, that was memorable, after a few long years I had my diagnosis. At the time I was working and I pushed myself to do my very best for my clients but I was really digging myself in a whole.
I have been on long term disability and not working. My work was my life and I miss it very much!!
I also have many other medical issues and love to meet and share war stories and hope!
My other conditions
Hypothyroidism
Addison's disease
Hypogonadism
Hyponaltremia
Growth deficiency
depression
Sleep issues
Trigeminal neuralgia
hypothalamic disregulation syndrome
Visually impaired
High functioning Autistic.
Thanks for having this group and I really hope in time we can be friends!
NO DAY BUT TODAY
NAT
