Hi Sylvie
Welcome to the Forum.sorry you had to go through this. I need quiet too. I cannot handle any stimulation, light, sound or just too many things. Flares can come with a vengeance.
Take Care and feel free to vent, ask questions and such.
Wish you all the best

yes you need to document everything. You also may want to consult an attorney. Yea its costs, but the attorney can advise you the best course of action
Hi Sandra
Welcome to the forum. DX in 1997? if my memory serves me well, fibro wasnt very understood then. Yes it sucks.
anyway this is a cool place to vent, ask questions or just chill.
take care
How about a fibro fog moment.
Took the trash out to the curb, and when I came back in I heard a motor type sound. Look around and saw that the shredder was on. Now mind you this shredder, you have to turn the knob. You cant just bump into it. Have no idea how it started
Now what else is...
for me messaging makes it worse.
Rib trouble, yes and there is a name for that its called, costochondritis, it causes pain around the breast bone and rib cage,
Hello and welcome :)
This is a safe place where we do understand, and I am glad you find this forum. Its been an invaluable resource and source of comfort for me, and I hope it will be for you too.
I wish you all the best!
Another thing to consider is the quality of health care. Research Hospitals and doctors and see where the good ones are.
And while I would love to have you as a neighbor, Florida stinks as far as health care. Unless you want to pay 2K for concierge medicine, the docs here are mediocre at best.
I recall going to bed one night and being in pain. I couldnt even put on my soft flannel jammies without cringing. I thought I was going bat #*$% crazy. I am thinking this cant be real, it must be all in my head. Perhaps I can just think it away, or put it aside and it will go away; mind over...
Ya know for the next fibromyalgia awareness day or some other day about invisible illnesses, we should cover ourselves with large stickers each with a symptom, so the invisible will turn visible.
Vent away Maria, vent away. We have a sub forum for that and all of us "get it". We know what you are going through, so please feel free to share. You are among friends who care, truly.
A new home, now thats something to look forward to. I hope the transition goes well.
Best to you :)
