Pain is felt by all chronic suffers from all over the globe! It eats into our daily lives no matter how desperately we try not to let it affect us. It does! The following factors led to the onset of my FMS and I wish to God sometimes I could have one day without pain. The only way I have been able to overcome the enormity of it is to live one day and a time and reach out to others who understand what it is really like!
Very soon I am going to add a chat room to this page so that we can share our chronic pain days and perhaps make it a little easier to bear knowing that others are in the same boat!
.I am housebound and I have 2 daughters
.The eldest Fiona has severe cerebal palsy, non-verbal and has
difficulty walking. The years of dressing her, carrying her,
feeding her etc. have taken its toll on my general health.
My youngest has a mild form of cerebal palsy and has an intellectual
impairment which has also taken its toll.
.The internet has been a lifesaver
.At 47 this year I feel like I am 97 and feel as if my body is wearing
out.
.Life to me has been a great learning experience as I would never have
thought I could have grown as I have have.
.As a child I had chronic ear infections and many operations.
.My life of pain continued even more!
.I can remember being tossed from one side of the room to the other
a few times during my childhood and I grew up thinking my Dad hated
me and wished I was normal.
.A major contribution of pain throughout my life eventuated at 14 when I
was raped by my brother!
.Continual pain I suffered during 17 years of marriage which was doomed
from the start as my ex husband was an alcoholic and transvestite!
.A car accident in 1990 where I was hit from behind by a truck resulted
in neck and shoulder pains still present 8 years after.
.I fell over outside a shopping center 3 years ago and broke my wrist
and I believe this last fall contributed to the onset of Fibromyalgia
as my body could not take any more pain.
.I have never known life without pain but I don't expect sympathy from
anyone reading this as I have experienced and learnt so much!
