Living with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain disorders
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2016 3:37 pm
Hi everyone,
My name is Aimee, I am 25 years old and have been suffering from Fibromyalgia for around 7 years but only diagnosed at 23 years old.
You can read my story here on the Talk Health Story Board: http://www.talkhealthpartnership.com/ta ... .php?c=110
Currently my pain isn't managed but I am working through various different medications, infusions etc with my local Pain Clinic. I am at a point in my life where I am in a wheelchair if I need to walk any further than to my car and back. Obviously this isn't the way I want to live my life at the age of 25 but I am struggling to improve my condition - It's gradually getting worse.
So everyone - If you're suffering from either Fibromyalgia or any other chronic pain disorder, what do you do on a daily basis to manage your pain? Do you experience flare ups or are you like me and experience no improvements regardless medication? Are there any treatments or therapies that you use to manage your symptoms?
If you are suffering and feeling like you need to speak to someone who can understand exactly what you're going through, this is a nice safe place to connect with others going through the same thing and I would be more than happy to offer support to anyone who feels like they need that extra bit of support
