It's been almost 20 years since I was diagnosed. I was 22! I started showing symptoms at 12. I have gotten use to the pain. All of the different pains (aches, burning, stinging, tenderness, neuropathy, etc.) I struggle most with mental health. I'm a single mom and many days It's so so so hard just to get up, much less spend time with my kids.
The weeks I can't go to the grocery store. The games of uno I miss. The attention they seek. I cry.
I am still trying new meds and treatments because they DONT KNOW HOW TO TREAT FIBROMYALGIA. They only treat present symptoms. Then the meds don't work anymore.
