Hi Everyone,
I am a life and health coach and was diagnosed with fibro about 4 weeks ago. I also have a full-time job and am on short term disability. My short term disability was suspended because I was told my fibro symptoms are all subjective and not objective. So now I am not getting paid.
It has been difficult to find a rheumatologist with an interest in fibromyalgia in the NW suburbs of Illinois, so if you know one please let me know.
I have actually been having chest muscololoskeletal pain for a couple of years and last year had a total hysterectomy and then had an auto accident three days for my surgery. Someone rear ended me at a traffic light.
After that incident and surgery I had excruciating pain all over and my gynecologist was of no help. She basically thought it was in my head and said "I don't understand why you are having so much pain and stress, suck it up we all have issues and stress and learn to deal with it".
I immediately changed doctors.
Each day I wake up in excruciating pain, have fibro fog and can't sleep. As I write this post I have been up without sleep since 1:00 am CST this morning and the time is now 2:04 p.m.
I am thankful to be a part of this group.
