FM is in short nerve pain. Plain n simple.
Our nervous system is our bodies message path.
All messages go to the brain through the nervous system.
When the messages go through the nerves it causes pain and
Burning knife pains. Pain causes us to not sleep. Not sleeping
Causes us to get fatigue. Fatigue causes muscle spasms and
Brain fog. Brain fog causes us to lose memory motor functions.
As the muscles is what tells the brain to send pain. It uses the nerves
To send that message to the brain.
They give us meds like gabby, lryica, cymbalta which
Are nerve blockers. Less messages, less use of nervous
System = less pain.
There is no cure and you see the only treatment for it.
You can't see fibro , like you can't see a headache.
Family and friends can't imagine your pain. So they say things like get over it or man up. Mine said walk it off. Because they couldn't see it. They could see the pain in my face,so they knew I had pain.
I used the clothes pin to show them my pain.
I had each take a clothes pin and place it on their body. Told them you can't take it off.
Most couldn't take the pain more than one minute. Said it hurt to much to keep it on.
I told them that's the pain I have day and night and I can't take the clothes pins off like you did.
I can't get over it or walk it off or man up. All I can do is take the meds the doctors offer me.
The drugs are dangerous. So I chose wisely.
I hope this helps folks understand about fibro and what it does to people with it.
If I missed anything here please add your comments.
