If you have fibro you know that its so hard to do day to day things let alone write a book. You are always mentally and physically exhausted all the time. And lets not forget brain fob .But I'm going to try. If I get enough followers and can write enough material I might urn this into a book.
What is Fibromyalgia? That is the question and the problem. No one knows . It has the traits of an Auto immune, nerve and genetic disease . I know you are thinking that your mother didn't have it. But I run into 3 types of people , those who's parents had it and they have it too , those who have it and their parents didn't and those who's parent have it but they are plagued with chronic headaches, fatigue or pain .
The thing with Fibro that I have experienced and have seen from other women is that I know your going to hate this but there aren't many causes of Fibro, there are many triggers of Fibro, extreme stress, abuse, extreme stress on your body or nerves, being burned, trauma . And possibly long term drug use, like chronic sinus infections and having to go the hospital on a regular basis . You say how do you know , everyone is different. So think back to when you were little, go back as far as you can. Food allergies, sinus infections, ear infections all the time, problems swallowing pills, bad stomach pains that got worse if you got too hot, not able to sleep normally, always sick around the holidays, being itchy for no reason bad headaches, felling older and more tired than you should be, medicine not working like it should. How do I know my 10 yr old has the same problems as I did around the same age . So as I said it is possible that Fibro may be all 3 .But we will never know until more research is done and we need to make it known that out disease is real.
Fibro may affect you in ways you dont know or pass off as getting older which is why so many men probably dont know they have it, and women. Auto immune and nerve diseases can also be genetic. No Im not a scientist or a Doctor but I know how to look at 20 or more people and see what they have in common .Things it seems Doctors for some reason cat seem to figure out or plain ol refuse to since its a womans disease.
Because there are so many who dot believe us, or treat it like heart disease, as if its something we got from being lazy , unhealthy slugs, or they treat us like drug addicts. Then their are the snake oil salesman that try to make us believe they have a cure for 19.95 in 12 east payments. There are also the women who are new to this that will believe anything as long as it means they don't have to be sick anymore .Despite the fact that this disease has been tracked back to the 1500s. This is before gmos and before fast food and all the bs reasons we want to blame . We need this disease to be taken seriously and make it known that this isnt a new disease and does not just affect women.We need men to speak up about their pain too.
