Hi Got diagnosed with fibro last march but really put up with it a lot longer than that not understanding why i suddenly end up with chronic pain in the legs and through out the whole body. Think it reacted to having a bad back. Walking as if i am a 90 year old and even sometimes they walk better than me. Had to go on sick leave from work. Always worked but my body would not let me.
Could not sleep restless legs, could not get comfortable. Tired, irritable, sore and ending up crying at the slightest thing it was not me, always been active (snowboarding, walking, biking, hiking. Been to a lot of countries, helping out in Africa with children. ) Now kills me getting on a bus, take my dog for a walk 15 min walk now takes 1 hour ridiculous.
It was mostly in my legs but now as finding it out typing its in the fingers, wrists. Sitting rubbing and squeezing. Ending up with small bruising hands and legs, felling of numbness but knowing its not numb. After a bad attack of pain where the pain has been its sore to touch its like I've been in a fight with an elephant.
I could not work with my employer any more and also this was my place of board as well,
I went to live with my cousin who is disabled, as my condition was easing not gone never gone have bad attacks less and would not last as long still chronic but put up with it. So thought was just a something had to put up with, did not like being on pills, as did not matter did not help with the chronic pain anyway. Yes always have the habit of saying i'm fine when it's not really. Sorry to go on and on.
Thinking everything is fine went back to work but as a career, putting up with the pain, but started to get worse again, pain more chronic lasting longer and ending up not able to look after myself mind any one else physically or mentally.
NO job feeling useless in pain how many blood test do you need before yes their is something wrong nothing comes back in the blood, so feel like is it in my head, staying with friends at this moment had to go on ESA did not know if i was entitled to anything
but getting something but feeling like a scrounger. But knowing how do you tell your next employer that I might be able to work today but need time off as my body will only let me do so mush with out being in pain. How do you explain to government or the doctors and specialists the more i do the worse it gets and the longer it lasts. Time you get appointment the symptoms have eased, its taken 5 months this time without being in chronic pain all the time and still pushing myself to get out of bed and take the dog for a walk, knowing i have to not only for my dog but for my own sanity.
I do know the more i do, the more constant in what i do the more the pain and longer it lasts. Really sorry this is long.
