 I'm glad... heck, you are too, that you were finally properly diagnosed. No tears.
I think my mother suffered from it too, but back then the docs all told you "it's all in your head". She's in her 80's now and everything hurts. The fibro word never made it out of any docs mouth, but she's on strong daily meds anyway. It helps. |
You're right. Knowing is so much better than going from specialist to specialist and not knowing what's wrong with you and thinking you may never know. Still, if it had just laid dormant forever, I'd be a lot happier. Your mom has lived a long time with it so I know it won't kill me. Actually, I've heard a few doctors say "Having fibromyalgia won't kill you, it'll just make you wish you were dead."
Still.. proper diet, exercise, and medication and I think I can get through this and get back to work.
