I have Myofascial Pain Syndrome/fibromyalga. I found a Physical Therapist who does myofascia release and fibromyalgia trigger points. Fascia turns from oily to glue in Fibro and glues things together. Must separate organs/muscles/nerves.

I was diagnosed with FM 2 years ago. I suffer with so much pain, its a daily struggle. I make jewelry. I make something everyday, it helps with my pain. I am having surgery this year as I am also suffering with severe stenosis and disc is colasping. I stay positive through my jewelry making, it gives me strength. I have 18/18 trigger points, allodynia, and severe stenosis at C6 &C7.

I have fibromyalgia, but I also have chronic low back pain caused by four moderately bulging discs. I have severe depression caused by the pain. I am just having a really hard time. I have friends/relatives that tell me to just suck it up and try to be positive. They think I can just jump up and suddenly be fine. I wish they could understand. I have a couple friends that do along with my mom and that helps.

Along with fibro I have have IBS as well and the pain would cause me to pass out. I took food sensitivities testing and found that there were many healthy foods causing the pain. Staying away from those foods has improved the quality of my life.Using the Nutribullet to increase my greens intake helps digestion and lessens pain. Gluten free made no difference but not eating GMO wheat has. Fibro is the same.

Hi Nicola — I read the comment you wrote in September 2012 & I couldn’t relate more. I am 32 years old & have probably had Fibro since I was 24 or 25 although I didn’t get diagnosed until 2011. Even w/ this diagnosis, I do not feel like I get anywhere w/ doctors either & Social Security thinks the drugs I have been prescribed are managing my pain well enough. The best we can do is keep trying.

I hear you. I am only 52, my mother is 87 and she can run circles around me. I am blessed that she and a brother and 2 sisters understand my plight but there are others that look at me as if collecting state disability is taking welfare. I have been unable to work and support myself since 2007, and am fighting for my dignity. At this point of my suffering i will take whatever help I can get

There are several different reasons why a person contracts Fibromyalgia. Some people are misdiagnosed when they actually may have Myofacial Pain. Yes there is a difference they say. I was diagnosed with Chronic Myofacial Pain/Fibro/Chronic Migraines/Occipital Neuralgia/Chronic Fatigue in 2003 and have been living with the increasing pain and suffering since. No diet changes have made any difference

My fibro presented as OOS or RSI (repetitive strain injury) when I was 24 and working in a call centre. About a month later after going for a run, the pain spread throughout my whole body and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Even when had a remission from it for few years (and was capable of a half-marathon run), I still couldn’t type a lot. Now I’m 39 and live with it to a moderate degree.

I was diagnosed a year ago with Fibro. I am fighting back with nutrition. Eating a plant-based diet has relieved me of the biggest bulk of my everyday pain. I can still over-do it and hurt myself. Next, my biggest obstacle to overcome is fatigue. A plant-blased diet takes a lot of dedication but it’s been worth the pay off for me.

I can relate to this research study, I am I’m constant pain and I try to ignore it, not acknowledge its existence. As the day wears on though and I try to achieve the tasks I need to achieve it becomes increasingly difficult to the point of impossible to ignore, even with pain relief. This and struggling to sleep just leaves me feeling constantly knackered!
