Here's a question for everyone with Fibromyalgia, which I feel isn't explored enough. It's like the elephant sitting in the same room which no one acknowledges.
How have you controlled your pain before diagnosis? I abused alcohol for years, even spent time going to Alcoholics Anonymous. But I never felt like an "alcoholic". Now I realize that I was using alcohol to self medicate for actual physical pain. I can also remember a lot of women I met there who were probably doing the same thing.
Thank God, I never got addicted to prescription drugs or street narcotics, but am sure many women have because of this condition.
