Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share a little bit of myself since I'm new to the site. I am a 43 year old female and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 11/2011 but went undiagnosed for about 10 years. I also suffer from migraines, chronic constipation, sciatica,DDD, s1l5 nerve root damage, osteoarthritis of back and neck, insomia, fibro fog, anxiety, and depression. I've tried the three FDA approved medications only to find they were no help at all. I had meniscus repair on my knee two years ago and now I have cartilage loss so I have to see another orthopedic surgeon to get 2nd opinion since my original one thought it was all in my head when I tried to tell him I was in a lot of pain and my knee doesn't feel right. I am a single mother of 3, ages 21, 17, &9. I worked since age 14 until 2011 when I barely could walk due to repetitive work. Was denied ssi/ssd 3 times even though the vocational expert said there was no work that I could perform. I am beyond frustrated and exhausted I don't know what else to do. I figured by communicating with people with similar experience it might help me get through this. Thanks for allowing me to express myself. Many soft hugs & blessings to all of you!
