Myofascial pain syndrome

Just wanted to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia myofascial pain syndrome about 40 years ago. I also have hEDS (hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome) and ulcerative colitis. Life can be challenging at times but my two pups keep me laughing. Looking forward to receiving and hopefully providing tips and hacks.

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

Hi, my name is Brunette_Rhyme. I've been diagnosed with and am a long term sufferer, I have other conditions but they are not on this radar however that does not surprise me. I feel out of 32 neurological and a mess of a muscularskelatal, my body is heading for another change. How long before we know what’s going to happen is anyones guess. My biggest obstacle right now is I seem to be my carer’s carer. I have a new set of carer’s coming on board. My new NDIS package has come through and finally I had and awesome LAC who knew what she was talking about. We have fought so hard and finally I received a package where I now might received the care I need instead of laying on the floor in a pool of blood in the morning whether I have an Apple Watch on or not. It is all dependant on the impact of the fall and mine are usually low by the time I hit hard. I have been on dexemethasone for nearly 3 months this time and it’s taking it’s toll and my doc does not get back from holidays for another month. I have to hang on as 2 hospitals have nearly killed me and I refuse to go down that road. I have an induction on Monday and really need these carers up to speed. I have one carer who is about to take leave and is on holidays to Italy. I hope she has and amazing time and sadly another one I have just lost as she had a fight with another carer to whom where previously friends. She put me in a very awkward position of choosing. I refused to and split them apart. It was not good enough so she resigned. I am very sad for this and I see her hurting right now but as the say with Pride come a fall. She knows I am very fair and kind however she needs to ask me. I guess I am reaching out for some moral support as I am truly exhausted and know I need to hang in there. I hope every is doing the best they can? If you are having reasonably good day, share and extra smile for the rest of us and we will do the same in return. J
