My fibromyalgia story: Part One

I go through my life and tell you MY story and how it led up to my fibromyalgia diagnosis. I explain the real life things that I went through, as much as I feel comfortable sharing. This is just part one. There’s a trigger warning with time stamps for the beginning and end of that section so you can skip it if you are triggered easily. Please hang in there with me. My goal is to bring light to how our trauma and just plain 'ole life issues that occur over time can lead to fibromyalgia. Some of you may experience too much trauma and stress early in life, and the mind and body has a way of not being able to handle it and the pain and fatigue are the result. But our lives don't end there. We learn to live and live happily!
I am a psychologist and my passion concerns EVERYTHING fibromyalgia. I have a Ph.D. in General Psychology with a focus on cognition and instruction. My dissertation involved self-presentations, fibromyalgia, and online support groups. I also have fibromyalgia and share information about this chronic illness. Love to all of you!

Ohh Pammie. I'm Penny and very sick myself. Been married and divorced and the husband I'm with now is my hero. And Soo understand what you went thru. From secret to church friends looking at u and judgy - Cady....now. I'm still sick. But happy with my life. Your story so similar. Love you. Where abouts are u? it would be nice to find a friend after just moving to Idaho for my husbands job. Also same with the syncope. Got diagnosed with autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Aka pots.

[@dr.pammiejean]

Yes, such a difficult time but it's made me who I am. My oldest son is a pastor and a sweetheart. Not all church people are insensitive. I am so happy now, too. Yes, my hero! POTS, uh that would not be fun, either! I have watched videos and some people really suffer. Blessings to you AND thank you for watching!
