Living with Fibromyalgia

Living with this condition is very difficult. I find it hard to stay positive when I am going through three days of solid pain and no sleep. I sought out the expertie of a naturopath who is helping me cope with this disorder. I have gone the exercise root, major dietary changes , supplements with some success. When I get a pain outbreak it last three days. Its hard not to become depressed. I dance three times a week regardless of how I feel, go to the gym and just hope I can get through a week without an oubreak. I have seen an environmental specialist to determine what foods to stay away from. I eat organic food as much as possible and keep away from as many toxins as I can. The impact on my life is the hardest thing to handle especially when trying to plan activities and keep up my social activities, with this disease it’s hard to know from day to day how your going to feel. Family members do not really understand what your going through. Thankfully I have a partner who is very compassionate and understanding about my condition. He has read and researched as I have all the information we could get our hands on regarding Fibromyalgia. I have often wondered whether having Carpal Tunnel Syndrome surgery triggered my fibromyalgia. I have so many questions and not enough answers. Lets hope a breakthrough is upcoming in the treatment of fibromyalgia in the future. May God bless all those who have to deal with this condition. Thankfully I have four friends with this disorder so we can exchange views on the symptoms and help each other.
