I just got diagnosed fibromyalgia today any one else has this how is your life with it



My mom has it . It can be tough but you can live through it
@alexisroger200, honestly she hasn’t been prescribed anything yet . Because since she’s fighting for disability she has to see all their docs and her appointment isn’t til January something. The people who diagnosed her gave her a 3 month script of muscle relaxers but that was 4 months ago lol
@briannalynn547 oh okay which disability she applying for because I'm about to do that tommrow for my self
@alexisroger200, I think ssd ? Idk . It could be ssi. It’s a long and shitty process . She’s been fighting for over a year . You always get denied the first time . Then you pretty much need a lawyer lol
@alexisroger200 I was prescribed muscle relaxers for a while but now that I'm in a state where cannabis is legal I use a lot of that and high CBD topicals
@familygrown oh okay yeah I'm just gonna do muscle relaxer on top of that I got sojregns so I can't work because the pain is so bad and it only happens when I'm on my feet or doing physical work so I can't work no more
I have had fibro for 15 years but our mental health plays a big role. I have to constantly stay moving or I will be in so much pain and pregnancy isn’t helping. Swimming and tennis work best for me. Also because we have a hyperactive nervous system we have to pay special attention to our nerves. I have extreme nerve pain sometimes and it’s hard to manage but I will not let this disease beat me. Our immune system is fighting itself but we can overcome it. A healthy lifestyle and healthy attitude is essential. I try to stay busy mentally and physically...we can overcome this. ❤️
