Hello, my name is Kat and I am from Texas. I am nearly 32 years old and cannot remember a life without some sort of daily pain or ache. I was first diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome when I was around 11 years old. The official fibromyalgia diagnosis came much later though the doctors said I probably had it all along. I have a variety of other diagnosis, some that often go hand in hand with fibromyalgia, TMJ, neuropathy in the arms/legs, plantar fasciitis, OCD, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and probably several other things I am forgetting at the moment. I also have kidney stones at the moment.
I am on medication and have a new PCP since my previous PCP just left the network. I work full time, thought I have FMLA coverage to protect my job when the fatigue or pain are too much and I have to call in. I also have a 4 year old daughter.
My mother and grandmother (both passed in 2014) had fibromyalgia, my mother also had Multiple Sclerosis.
I have been having flare ups a lot lately and I'm hoping that finding others who can somewhat understand the pain, utter exhaustion and the internal struggle can help me find an outlet for some of this stress and help me find some relief or at least help me feel not so alone in my pain.
