Living with Fibromyalgia

I have Fibromyalaia and Myomalagia(muscle weakness). I just want to go over how I deal with it. Things you can do for the pain and soreness, diets to use, and so forth. I have had it for 15 yrs. Every muscle in my body feels affected. I know how you feel sometimes with depression.
You will have not only muscle pain and soreness but insomnia as well.
I want to talk about pain pills and pain management. How Drs and other people see you.
How to get support, and where.
How church and God can help. You need the support of your family and friends.
Fibromyalgia is muscle pain and stiffness and soreness all over. These symptoms are accompanied by fatigability.They don't know the cause of it yet,over 3 million people suffer with it.

Having fibromyallgia is not easy.Its hard to plan anything, because you dont know how you are going to feel from day to day.It is not good to plan something for an all day trip unless you can rest for a while during it. When I over due it one day I pay for it in the next 2 to 3 days. I have to do my shopping in one day, clothes on another, so on and so forth. You learn not to over due. Sometimes I can get up and feel great and go all day with no reprecussions, I LIVE FOR THOSE DAYS!!
I can't describe the fatigue I have. It is unbeleivable, how tired and weak I get.

It is the purpose of our presence on the World Wide Web to disseminate information that is accurate and beneficial in improving the quality of life for those suffering from fibromyalgia. We no longer have to live with practitioners or care givers that do not believe this to be a real entity because its existence is recognized throughout the world medical community. Fibromyalgia is due respect.

Irritable bowel, migraine headache, interstitial cystitis, and chronic fatigue are also emerging as specific disease entities with common links to fibromyalgia that can aid not only in diagnosis but also intreatment.

Being treated by credible individuals, using appropriate therapies and maintaining high levels of ethical accountability. This does not deny the consideration of alternative therapy. Treatments of promise will be presented when there is clear utility for individuals suffering from any of these Fibro Five diseases.

The Fibro Five
The "Fibro Five" is a term referring to:
Fibromyalgia
Interstitial Cystitis
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Migraine Headache
Irritable Bowel

Physicians commonly look for a disease process that is presented by symptoms. In the case of the Fibro 5, pain is the symptom. Pain is experienced in muscle groups described as "tender points" and sometimes in joints. These symptoms were actively reported in the mid 1800's and have been termed numerous syndromes such as myositis, myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyositis.
