How Depressing
I have been living with fibromyalgiafor the last 10 years..wasn’t diagnosed for the first 4 years. It’s one of those medical situations where it’s not considered a disease or recognized by all medical field. For the first 4 years I went back and forth from emergency rooms to doctor appointments to be told that there’s nothing wrong with me. I have even been on a cane not able to use my leg and still told it was all in my head, Once I was diagnosed at Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, NY I felt a sense of relief..”Im not crazy or a hypercondriac”. The doctor explained that it is a hard illness to diagnose and that it does exsist, fibromyalgia attacks 12 different points of the body
- 12 points of attack
When these attacks accur it is one of the most painful and depressing things I have ever had to deal with. It interferes with my sleep, activities and spirit.
Thank you for staying until the end
