My Story of Fibromyalgia!

There are many ways to be able to tell you how this can affect you. I know that I've had this for many years now. It causes alot of chronic pain throughout the body. It doesn't just stay in one part. The side affects of having fibromyalgia can be one of many.

I know since when I got it I really didn't know what it was at the time. It took the docoters a long to to find out what was happening to my body. I started with pain in my muscles and tenderness throughout my body. I was unable to sleep at night for the pain was so bad. Yet, they told me that they didn't know what it was. So, now the testing started.

I went through many testing's for this and really it's very hard for this fibromyalgia to be find. For,it has many different affect on different people. Mine started in my right leg and my left breast area. Which there they didn't know what to think at the time.

I do have to say that is can affect your life and how you will live with it. I know that sounds funny but it's true. There was things that I use to do that I can no longer do. It stopped me going out with my family and friends. Even to do the things that I wanted to do. Please don't get me wrong for one doesn't always have this all the time. It just seems to come when it wants to come. I think that is the best way that I know how to tell you about it.

There was times that depression would set in and those that was around me thought it was only just my nerves. Which in a way they where right. For, this is one of many side affects to this. At times I would want to sleep alot yet when I wouldn't to sleep I couldn't. So, you see this can really affect one's life.

I've learned to live with allot of this for there is nothing that can be done about this for me that is on medication's. The affects of most would have other affects on me. So, they are limited to what they can give me for fibromyalgia.

Now, I would like to tell you alittle about what you can tell if you think that you might have fibromyalgia. I do hope and pray that this will help you in some way. I know that my story is short but I think that it's better that you know that facts and not just what happens to me.

These are some of the thing that one my look for. Chronic condition causing pain, stiffness, and tenderness of the muscles, tendons, and joints. Fibromyalgia may cause restless sleep,fatigue, anxiety,depression, and disturbances in bowel function.

Fibromyalgia is one of the most common diseases affecting the muscles, its cause is currently unknown. The painful tissues involved are not accompanied by tissue inflammation. Fibromyalgia is different from many other rheumatologic conditions,such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, and polymyositis. In those diseases, tissue inflammation is the major cause of pain, stiffness and tenderness of the joints, tendons and muscles.

Fibromyalgia can affects most people after the age of 35 or so. They have told me that this can just come up and one will only know that they have this if they have been tested and it's very hard to find. It can be associated with another disease, such as systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Well, I do hope that this will help you in some way. I remember that is hope somewhere down the road I hope for all that have been affected with it. If you live with someone that may have this please bare with them. For, they can't help what is going on with them. You can only stand by them and support them the best way that you know how. At times to may but very hard but I know that if you love one that you will do this without me saying this to you.

May you always have an Angel watching over you.

Anne.
