quick intro:
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia around a year ago. This was a decade in the making. I had been going to a chiropractor as a teenager. I find myself in bed all day, in pain and overwhelmingly fatigued, and I have too busy a life for this. I am finding that I need to vent my frustrations with someone who understand fibro. I'm glad to be here.
that was a copy of my welcome to the page post. Can anyone tell I'm tired?
So, how am I supposed to pass my last semester of college when I can't get out of bed?
I was listening to NPR talk radio, and there was a who segment on chronic pain. Did you know that most doctors receive about 9 hours of pain management? vets get more training for animals. They don't spend time on it. I read an article that most NPs don't feel comfortable exploring chronic pain diagnosed let alone treating them. This country has an overwhelming amount of people in pain, and very few who understand and feel comfortable treating it.
the worst part is that I'm 5'7 130, bubbly attitude most of the time. people look at me and say she's faking, or it can't be that bad, or suck it up. it's crazy when I wish there was something visibly wrong with me so I can get a frickin' break.
and my husband, god bless his heart, he tries. but I am fed up with the crap my body does so I can't blame him for getting Bent out of sorts. I feel like I have to constantly remind him sometimes. yes, I am out of bed, but no, I don't want to do some responsible task or clean, I want to enjoy being vertical.
blah. I feel better, mentally at least
