Hello, my name is Lilith Moon. I was diagnosed a week ago, although I've had symptoms for months. I was passed from doctor to doctor all saying they believed it was fibromyalgia but no one helped me or have me medication until I could barley move, walk, or stand. I was asked what it feels like and I have two examples. First, I feel like the tin man in the Wizard of Oz who desperately needs oil, or secondly, think of the worse flu with body aches you ever had and multiply that times ten and no matter what you do it never goes away. I was finally diagnosed with acute fibromyalgia the first week of April. Now I am on hardcore anti-depressants, muscle relaxers, and pain meds. They all help a little bit but I still need my cane everyday, my joints swell and ache almost all the time, especially my ankle and hands.
Thank goodness I have loving, caring parents who convinced me to move home and apply for disability. I feel so useless and sad that just a year ago I was out dancing with my friends and living independently. This illness has taken my life that I knew away. I joined this forum in hopes of meeting others suffering from this illness that could relate to how I am feeling.
