whats wrong wiht me....

i finally have answers........i have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. i know say what......thanks to wikepedia if you want to know more read on......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibromyalgia


basically it is a joint and fatigue illness. it isnot contagious. there is no set cure or treatment. there are things i can do and need to work on so i can live with this condition. i have to do research and find therapies and doctors i want to help me work with my condition. i have to set goals to help me live a daily normal life.

i have to seek therapists to help me mentally, i have to make diet changes, start doing yoga and meditation to ease stress levels, i have to change my sleep patterns (lack of sleep or not being able to sleep is a big part of this condition), so i need psychiatrists, psychologists, a nutritionist, possibly get massage or acupuncture, a family physician and possibly a rheumotologist.

my doctor told me to get some books on my condition. i have to record my emotions and tiredness. he said it is good i write a lot and do a journal.

depression plays a part in fibromyalgia.

most importantly my close family and friends need to know about my condition because they will play a big part in helping me. i wont ever be cured but right now i have a long road ahead of me to learn how to live with it.

sigh......

i am supposed to look into a support group too.

my dad wants me to get a second opinion but they did blood work on me.

supplements i have to take are B-12, magnesium, vitamin D, iron, potassium plus a daily vitamin.

most often in people with my condition we dont keep in certain nutrients as well.

so wish me luck...........now i need to tell John.
