Hi everyone,
I’m Eva (not my real name) and I’m from Adelaide, South Australia. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2012 after spending a year being wiped out. I was in remission from 2017-2019 but now, it’s come back with a vengeance.
I’m one of those Fibro sufferers who find the fatigue more debilitating than the pain. I had a lot of reactions to the medications you usually take with Fibro which lead me to being allergic to ALL NSAIDs excluding Panadol or Morphine, which has led me to many days where I’ve pushed through pain and paid for it with days of inactivity. Now, I find myself more or less being able to manage 3 full days of work but on my days off, I spend it recovering, which makes my other household errands suffer.
I originally found this forum while looking for whether many Fibro sufferers use wheelchairs part time as I also have lower lumbar scoliosis (of 10 degrees) which also causes numbness/ paralysis of my right leg.
Hope to contribute more soon,
Eva
