Hey my name is Ryan, I am 25. I started having "fibro-like" symptoms about 5 years ago that have been progressively getting worse. It began with trouble sleeping. I just stopped being able to get comfortable. After about 5 minutes of laying still the entire area of my body that is touching the bed/couch/floor/chair (I've tried sleeping everywhere) gets sore. I roll to my side and after a little while the same soreness occurs. I went through about 6 beds before I realized (bing!) it wasn't the bed. I wake up every morning having woken up multiple times throughout the night and feeling stiff, sore, and groggy. The other symptoms I started having were brain fog (trouble thinking, remembering things), eye irritation and watery eyes, stiff joints, tender muscles, and a huge loss of energy.
I have seen chiropractors, doctors, naturopaths, an acupuncturist, and a therapist. None of them have given me a diagnosis. A few had some theories about my symptoms, mainly stemming from an accident I was in when I was 13. But I have not been officially diagnosed with Fibromyalgia or anything else. I have been on this road to try and find out what exactly I have and how to deal with. Cause it really sucks when I can't even tell people why I'm too tired to go to the beach, or can't work a full day, etc. I would at least like a name to this "face" of symptoms.
I was a runner before, and a musician with hopes of touring around the Hawaiian Islands (where I live) and eventually the world. But right now getting through each day takes all my energy and focus. I do my best to keep a positive outlook on life, but lately these limitations to my life are all I can think about. Anyway, it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one going through these types of things, and I'm hoping to gain some insights into my condition through this forum. Thanks for reading my story
