Hi there, I have Myofascial Pain Syndrome specific to the Thoracic Region. Often written off as fibromyalgia, and being a cousin to this, my biggest complication is the muscle group it affects: chest wall conditions directly affect your ability to breathe. I've lived with this since April 2012 after a viral infection (swine flu) effected systemic changes to my immune response. Like many others here I'm sure, I have run the gauntlet of misdiagnosis and incorrect treatments. I would love to find someone with the same or similar condition, but honestly, I'm desperate for support from anywhere I can get it. Pain is debilitating. Living with chronic pain wears you down, and I am tired. I live alone and have little in person support. While I have some very caring friends, many are elderly with major health issues themselves or work and are just not available when I genuinely need help. And I need help. #MyofascialPainSyndrome #ChronicPain
