When my niece was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I went online to look it up to see what it was all about. I was shocked. So many of the symptoms matched my own and I was surprised my doctor hadn’t realized it. He’d been treating me for depression only, which was my main irritation, but because of confusion and inability to think clearly he ordered an MRI and EEG which returned nothing unusual. He was going to send me to a neurologist when I read about Fibromyalgia. The pain at the specific trigger points, memory impairment, depression, restless legs, chronic fatigue, anxiety, irritable bowel, morning stiffness, and headaches clued me in quickly. My doctor recommended a rheumatologist and the rest is history.
I found a great web site called www.fibrohaven.com and wanted to do something similar. I want to post about alternative therapies that I’ve tried, in the hopes that it may help someone else who suffers in the same way I do.
