Found this forum as I have questions about fibro and dealing with the pain and exhaustion.
I haven't yet been diagnosed but am waiting to see a rheumatologist. Ive had a lot of symptoms (mostly pain related) over the past many years but haven't put all my symptoms together until recently. I've been under chronic stress and have experienced a great deal of emotional and physical trauma over the past 12 years.
I have approached my physical wellness by trying to improve my emotional wellness and really by just plowing through life and trying to get to steady ground while continually managing all of my symptoms on my own!
Coming out of both cancer and a high-conflict divorce so have experienced a lot of stress...and trying to parent my kids well (and keep up with the daily tasks of parenting) while educating myself and starting my own business...perhaps I'm doing too much but am eager to live fully and do it now as facing your death kinda lights a fire under you
So I suppose my main questions are:
how do you deal with the widespread pain?
Who do you reach out to for support/understanding?
Have you come across natural treatments that work for you?
and does anyone have a specialist in Toronto, Ontario that they're happy with?
Thanks in advance for any responses
