Hey everyone!
I just posted on the general page but I thought I would send a shout out on here as well.
I am on here for my fiancee who has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia just two months ago. Before that he spent years in pain wondering what on earth was going wrong with his body. Going to many many doctors and specialist who always told him there was nothing wrong...it as all in his head.
Now after all this time he finally has an answer, but definitely not one he wanted to hear.
He reacted very badly to the news; and has been extremely angry and bitter since.
In addition to his mood change my fiancee experiences pain in his ankles, knees, hips, cervical spine and worst of all his wrists.
He also suffers from what I believe is called " fibro fog" , short term memory loss, depression, extreme mood swings and celiac disease.
He has started new meds but not long enough to see any positive effects.
I know that there is no way I can ever understand what he and others with the same condition are going through. Im not here to try. I just want to help him anyway I can. To have a better idea of what is happening to him. To offer support in whichever way is needed.
And maybe just maybe to receive a little hope.
Thank you for reading. I look forward to being part of this forum.
