The upshot is that I have a fibromyalgia diagnosis and I have been left to deal with it. If it gets really painful, the doctor offers me meds. The ones I've tried in the past take away the pain, but made me feel so drunk that I couldn't cope with normal life anyway, so were pointless. I want to be able to function. That is key.
I am a fortnight 'rested' and still have hardly any energy. I need to seek out some of my own solutions. I am feeling quite failed by the doctors, so am going to start to explore some other pathways.
Things that I believe:
Stress has caused my illness.
My body is sick and my lifestyle has triggered this.
My whole body needs to heal.
My mind also has some healing to do.
The question is, how do you heal? I don't even know where to start because there seems like so much is wrong with me and conflicting advice pops up everywhere.
I intend to do some research with an open mind, putting cynicism to one side, and see if I can come up with any ideas that will help me start to feel better.
Watch this space.
