Most of us have had flu and suffered aches and pains all over their bodies and just wanted to sleep until it all goes away, now imagine feeling like that and people not believing you. Wanting to work, look after the family or even just look after yourself and not being able to. You like i would like to know why? you would like to know how to make it better. With fibromyalgia people struggle for years it is estimated 2% of the population will develop this illness mainly women but far fewer will be diagnosed.
Fibromyalgia means pain in the muscles and fibres surrounding them, But this doesn't reflect current understanding of the condition. Central Sensitisation syndrom or pain amplification syndrome would better describe this illness.
From what ive read this illness is likely to have more effect on sufferers than any other form of chronic pain or chronic illness which means fibro sufferers will suffer the most .
Fibro symptomes include.
Chronic widespread pain,
Hypersensitivity to pain and other stimuli,
chronic fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, (inc memory loss and lack of concentration, irritable bowel syndrome, irritable bladder, reflux disorder, headaches and migraine, restless leg syndrome, tremors and loss of cordination. So just imagine how you would feel if you had to live with this, this is my life.......
