Diagnosed today and they think it started with a trauma I had?

Absolutely...mine was from an old trauma I had it for years before diagnosis too and I ended up with quite a few autoimmune Issues,  unfortunately we can just about all pin point it to some trauma to our bodies either mental or physical..be blessed gayle and have a lovely day..💐💐💐😍

Hi Gayle,

Yes! Most of the cases FM develops through the trauma one experience in their life either mental or physical.

Its the body reaction to a particular situation that imprints deep in mind and stays their unconsciously. 

This is stored in the nervous system and always works in background for the life situations.

This pattern of behavior if not consciously removed, it transforms in to FM. A constant fatigue in body parts, which does not have physical cause.

Yoga and Meditation is the excellent solution for such a condition. Greatest advantage being no side effects and chemical ingestion and enhance physical and mental capabilities.

Hope this helps you!

Yes. After an auto accident that damaged my neck, my neck was very painful. About 2 years later the disc between vertebrae’s 5 & 6 was removed and they fused that part of my spine. The neck pain that had been severe was now considerably better but now I had pain in all my joints and aches all over as though I had flu.  That was 30 years ago when Doctors for the most part believed FMS unreal and diagnosed one as stressed or hypochondriac. Thank God Doctors now pay attention to the symptoms of patients and try to help them find relief....... even though as far as I know while there is temporary relief there is no permanent relief from the constant pain, the fatigue and the days when suddenly every thing you pick up you drop.  Or the days when one has blurred vision caused by what?  . 

My Fibromyalgia was bought on by a number of factors. Firstly by back pain I experienced at work, which was caused by extreme physical stress due to increased workload, which in turn caused severe mental stress. The final factor was an adverse reaction to being prescribed Naproxen for the back pain. At the time of being prescribed Naproxen I was suspected of having stomach ulcers (bowel movements were consistent of stomach ulcer condition, lots of heartburn). The Naproxen was prescribed without any kind of stomach protection (antacids, PPI, etc) and within a day of taken them I was in the worst pain I'd experienced in my life. It felt like my stomach was being ripped apart, it was excruciating. I saw a different doctor the next day as the pain was still there, he immediately took me off Naproxen and prescribed Omeprazole which within a day relieved the intense pain I was in, and within the next few days, made my bowel movements normal again. He told me that the pain in my back was probably stomach ulcer pain, and that being prescribed Naproxen without protection and with stomach ulcers was a 'recipe for disaster'.

I've never been right since and the combination of work physical and mental stress, back pain and trauma of being in agony while taking Naproxen has been the cause of my Fibromyalgia condition.

Thanks all for your replies. I'm so pleased I found this forum. Love to you all xx
