    I was diagnosed with Fibro when I was in my mid 20s. It never really bothered me, unless someone poked me in the arm and I’d want to punch them because it hurt badly. My main thing was fatigue. So tired all the time. I worked out and had always played sports growing up, but I never got that second wind they all talk about and I would go to sleep afterwards. In 2008, I was T-boned by a speeding pickup truck (walked away with no broken bones or cuts) and then 2 months later, sideswiped by a dump truck. I’ve been dealing with major pain ever since then. Thankfully, I have a great pain management team.

    I take mirtazapine and pregabalin at night and I sleep 10 hours straight. This has been a key part of my recovery. Also earplugs, eye mask, routine etc etc. if I ever can’t get to sleep I count my breaths which is basically meditating and this works !

    I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia i found out years later i do not have fibromyalgia. at the same time i was diagnosed with fibro i was also diagnosed with sarcoidosis.by a different doctor. what i found years later after doing my own research was i really have small fiber polyneuropathy. got a doctor to test for small fiber and was found to have small fiber polyneuropathy. about 80% of people with sarcoidosis have small fiber polyyneuropathy. about 30% of those have been DXed with fibromyalgia.

    Doctors and other medical professionals need to be educated on this condition as they simply don't understand it. Many dismiss it which is damaging. I've had comments like.. who on earth told you that and then rubbish medical professionals diagnosis of thus debilitating condition. Others tell you to just exercise, take vitamins and eat this that or the other, sharing their thoughts on what you need to do as if we haven't already tried all these things. People are clueless but there is NO awareness and very little understanding yet we are seeing more and more people suffering from this.

    Stop eating anything with seed oils. See what happens in a few months. Even if you aren’t “cured”, you will feel a whole lot better. Highly processed foods are killing us. They create inflammation and wreck every system in our bodies. Even on a “clean” diet, people will allow themselves sunflower, canola and various other oils. Don’t do it, learn to eat actually clean food. Cut out the vegetable oils, refined carbs, fake sugars, added sugars and boxes of garbage that say “healthy” on them. Shop only in the produce, meat and dairy departments. It will change your life for the better.

    My hope circled around becoming stable after 3 years of CF that doctors said was caused by Hashimotos hypothyroidism. I’m stable now and my CF is full blown. I had hope that my titration down from klonopin would help my CF. I thought I could tell my brain to rewire itself with visualization and that would bring back my lost energy. Now I listen to all the utube channels that discuss CFS for answers because my anxiety is raging as my CFS shows no recovery.

    I have a life long struggle with panic attacks and phases of daily anxiety symptoms. CF has attached itself to my being since September 2021. 4 variables occurred that month Completed a month of prednisone to aid my late onset on exercise induced asthma Started weaning from 2.0mg to 1.5 mg of klonopin Had my fourth Moderna vaccine My Hashimotos hypothyroidism stopped responding to medication management. I’m 71 Successful craniotomy in 2018, tumor free CPTSD emerged post brain surgery Been under a psychiatrist care for 30 years managing panic disorder and depression using medication. Did not share my abuse all those years because I buried it. Highly active, problem solving, warrior, all gone Daytime is the worse for anxiety. 6 pm I start to be anxiety free to midnight. I wear a CPAP for sleeping Cardiologist, primary GP, ENDOCRINOLOGIST, GYNECOLOGIST, do not discuss my CF despite me sharing my life is over Pulmonologist has other patients with CFS, heard me and prescribed a medication that is supposedly going to assist energy. I haven’t picked it up from the pharmacy, yet Functional doctor keeps suggesting supplements. I have a bottle of mitacore that I haven’t opened yet.

    Hi Dan, vielen Dank für den weiteren hilfreichen Denkanstoß von Dir! Niemand möchte gerne eine unheilbare Erkrankung haben und natürlich wünschte auch ich mir im ersten Moment, dass wieder alles so wie früher wird. Aber war das wirklich gesund? Sagt mir mein Körper nicht vielmehr per Stoppschild, dass mein Geist über viele Jahre Dinge ignoriert hat, die er besser wahrgenommen und damit dann gearbeitet hätte? Ein Zurück kann demnach ja nur ein Rückschritt sein mit dann vielleicht noch ganz anderen Folgen. Mal davon abgesehen, dass das Leben selbst eine immer tödlich verlaufende Geschichte ist und damit gewissermaßen eine unheilbare Erkrankung 😁. Aber das verdrängen wir in unserer westlichen Kultur ja überwiegend sehr erfolgreich. Möglicherweise liegt hierin ja auch mit ein Grund, warum sich die institutionelle Medizin so schwer mit chronischen Erkrankungen tut, gefühlt heißt das ja ständig eigene Grenzen akzeptieren müssen und es besteht die Gefahr, dass man noch auf viel Tieferes stößt, das macht einfach Angst. Wenn ich diese Grenzen aber bei mir akzeptieren lerne und mein Leben entsprechend gestalte, tut sich plötzlich wieder die Möglichkeit auf, auch in schwierigen Momenten noch jede Menge Schönheit zu entdecken. Und dann sieht mein Körper-Geist-System sogar manchmal wieder Wege, diese Grenzen etwas auszuweiten. Ich habe seit 15 Jahren ME/CFS, 13 Jahre mild ohne es zu wissen (und immer schön durchgekämpft). Zum Glück bin ich nach meiner Verschlimmerung Anfang 23 bald auf solche Informationen wie von Dir gestoßen, so dass mir vermutlich einige Umwege erspart geblieben sind. Und mit dieser Hilfe habe ich es von 23 Std bettgebunden und kaum mental aktivierbar immerhin wieder auf Homeoffice in Teilzeit gebracht, wobei es immer wieder eine Gratwanderung ist und ich aufpassen muss, nicht in alte Muster zu verfallen. Danke für Deine tolle Unterstützung dabei!!!

    Don't ever let a doctor tell you that you have fybromayalsia, because everything happening to you from prescriptions, antiobotics, and other illnesses, will be diagnosed as fybromayalsia. Fybromayalsia is a made up decease that they have no answer too. Also caused from heavy medels in food, forever chemicals in food, plastics in the blood stream from plastic. Get checked for these things in blood work. There's millions of people being diagnosed with this, all over the United States. We are being poisoned, from pharma, food additives, heavy medals and plastic. 😢

    First they thought it was CFS then ME, finally a good dr referred me to rheumatologist and I ticked every single box on the fibro checklist. The pain, sleeplessness, heightened sense of smell, pain in being touched, ibs, headaches, when I’m hot I can’t cool down, when I’m cold I can’t warm up due to problems with hypothalamus. Shooting pains through all (and I mean all!) parts of body. Depression, anxiety I could go on. I’m lucky to have a good family but even then the ‘forget’ I wish I could! Don’t ever let anyone tell you it’s all in your head. It’s a daily battle worthy of a medal!
