hello,
I currently have the diagnosis of CPTSD, and I have read that it is quite common for Fibromyalgia to rear it's ugly head alongside that dx.
Now, a few weeks ago i started have a back ache, that was a but on and off - but the past 5 days I have had severe back, neck and shoulder pain along with headaches (although i often get headaches with my CPTSD anyway)
I went to my GP, And she said I had muscle tension in my trapizum muscles of my back (?) I think - and prescribed me Co-Codimal and this muscle relaxant gel
I also have IBS like symptoms but I'm not diagnosed because i get a bit embarassed!
I also struggle with sleep and brain fog too - but i always put this down to the PTSD!
I was just wondering, with the pain aspect, did all your pain come at once - eg. Neck, shoulders, back, hips, knees, wrists all together - or did ut start with certain areas of your body and then gradually spread (i know spread isnt exactly the best word) to other areas? If so, how long did the 'spread' take?
I just want this to go away!!!
