Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I've been hurting off and on for weeks now. It's really effecting my mental health not just my body. Because if i lay around too much and do nothing i become more depressed and my thoughts just start racing then i just feel worse. It's one vicious cycle. I was supposed to go to my physical therapy today for my jaw but i couldnt due to not having a ride (long story about not having a ride.) But the person who was going to drive me couldnt due to their fibromyalgia as well. I'm not mad at them. I'm upset that i couldnt just get there myself. This is the 2nd time i cancelled because the 1st time i was really sick. I just don't want my doctor to drop me and say that they cant see me anymore. Ugh i'm just really stressed and need to see doctors for this pain (which i have before the meds just dont work for me.) Plus i'm thinking about cutting my hair short because my long thick hair is causing my neck to hurt worse which is causing more fibromyalgia migrains. Ok i think i'm alright now just needed a good clearing of the thoughts.
A clearing of the thoughts is necessary sometimes. It's hard to accept when something you didn't ask for is influencing things like appearance in your life.
I hope you were able to reschedule with your doctor and that they were understanding of your situation.
I struggle to get out the house a lot. I try to keep my tiny world as interesting as possible. I like learning languages through duolingo.com and memrise.com (both completely free, just needing a log-in). Memrise made sure I could keep up with my Japanese self-studies when FMS meant I couldn't pursue a study in Japanese Language and Business.
I try to stave off the depression with video games as well, but that happens infrequently. I have almost no money to buy new things and I can't sit in one position for long sessions. But cheap, old games that run on my old laptop can mean a huge, huge amount of escapism to me on the times I get myself to boot something up.
Nice seeing you around again and take care!
