My fibromyalgia diagnosis experience is exactly the same as yours. I feel your pain. I too was signed off from the pain clinic because i couldn't afford to take the time off work. Ironically from a job i was struggling to do and needed help and support to manage due to my pain. Now it's just about coping the best i can. My GP has been useless in supporting me. I always feel like i'm wasting her time. It's a very lonely condition to have without people around you who understand.

I too worked within schools and loved my jobs, it is sad when you have to stop work due to ill health isn't it. But when you don't sleep well, your in constant pain/fatigue/IBS/brain fog and all the other symptoms you become unreliable within the workplace and that's brings on stress too! I too live in a bungalow and it's been a lifesaver for me and I have slowly adapted my home/garden to suit me. We certainly go through a grieving process to get to the point where we can accept this new way of life and even then I have my days I'm in denial. Your story sounds so familiar, thank you. Xxxx

Thank you for sharing,Nicola! I've suffered with chronic pain and everything that goes along with it since the early 90's. I started my nursing career at age 17,and when the pain issues really progressed I was around 28. My GP referred me to the pain clinic in the hospital that I worked at in Nov 2002 and thankfully they were so caring and really listened to me and what my body was doing to every aspect of my life. Here it is 20 yrs later and even though several of the doctors & staff have come and gone I still am a patient there & I see my wonderful clinician(s) every 3 months,or sooner if I'm having any issues. Sadly I had to retire from nursing(which I absolutely adore)in Nov 2019 at 54yo due to severe POT Syndrome & Idiopathic Dysautonomia,along with the Fibromyalgia,herniated discs in my neck,& arthritis and widespread spinal degeneration. My life has changed so drastically these last few years and if it wasn't for the love of my life,hubby Randy(who I met in HS when I was 15 & he was 17,& we're still going strong 42 yrs later!),my 2 wonderful sons,and loving support of my & hubby's families,I'm not sure I could of kept going in this journey calle LIFE.

I hear you about the pain management course! I live in Canada and the one they offered me was 4 weeks long, 9 am - 4 pm. I couldn’t work because of the fatigue and particularly back and neck pain. I had to pass. Then when I applied for disability they used that against me for not “trying hard enough”. If I could do that course I would be able to work and wouldn’t need disability! In fact, if I had of gone I’m positive they would say “well you managed this program so obviously you can work. These pain management courses are not meant for people with fatigue, only pain. The woman next to me in the info session had carpel tunnel. The pain was isolated to her wrist. People don’t understand that fibromyalgia is an illness. You feel unwell 24/7. I thought I was dying if a horrible disease when I started experiencing symptoms. It effects your entire being.

I wish your story was unusual but everyone I know who has fibro has spent years going from one doctor to another being told there is nothing wrong, it's all in your head, you are tired because you've got young children, you are tired and in pain because it's the menopause, you are tired and in pain because you are in your seventies and it is expected. The medical profession just doesn't get it. I have had fibro symptoms since my twenties and now I'm in my seventies. I was diagnosed six years ago. Like you they gave me amyltripiline, gabapentin, etc and none of them worked. The side effects were horrific. I was then sent on the pain management course although here in the midlands it was a bit kinder than yours, it was one afternoon or morning a week for six weeks. You could choose whether you went morning or afternoon depending when you feel your best. The best thing I got out of it was the exercise in the hydro therapy pool at the hospital. Unfortunately that stopped with covid but it was good while it lasted. The next best thing I got out of it was being taught to meditate. I thought that was a load of hocus pocus until I tried it and it does work for me. I discovered your channel during lockdown and it has kept me sane and entertained. You understand fibro and talk more sense than anyone in the medical profession. I admire how you keep going. It takes a lot of courage to keep coping with this disease. Thank you Nicola.

Also got severe arthritis to add to the equation so I’m waiting for a new knee & new shoulder which given the NHS situation could be a loooonnnnggg wait! However, like you, I’ve struggled to work through the many years of pain & tiredness, but I’ve just had to admit defeat after my 5th bout of COVID (yes obviously god didn’t think I’d had enough suffering 🤦🏼♀️ he decided to add long COVID to the mix 🤷🏼♀️).

My days Nicola your story is so like mine ... I was a TA in a school mainly for SEN children, been there 11 years. In 2010 I started with hip pain...went on for years had gabapentin, oramorph, tramadol and many more pain relief products, and yes been on that pain relief course, tried to sit on those hard chairs, wouldnt do another one for sure . in 2012 I had an op to try to sort hip out but I've been left with severe pain ever since!! I had to reluctantly leave my job. A Dr recently seems to think I may have fibro but as of yet not diagnosed. I was told by one GP that there was no test for fibro when I asked about it years ago. Needless to say still in chronic pain this ruins my life but no real answers.

She was in her words 95% sure it was Fybromyalgia..I say was .!! She asked what my symptoms were…nodded a lot asked me some questions…did my lymph nodes swell, ? was the pain constant, ? did it get worse after stress or strenuous exercise..? and other questions.. I answered yes to most .. She did bloods to rule out lupus MS etc..Negative She was going to refer me…and then …..!! my mum was diagnosed with Lung and secondary bone cancer…I didn’t have the head space to deal with my issues so left it… fast forward 18 months Mum , had passed and was I suffering quite badly …considering going back. Covid hit and my Doctor was one of the ones sadly to die with it.. 😢 Put paid to my competitive Ballroom and Latin dancing.. 😢 So still formally undiagnosed… Got what I’m sure is Costochondritis at the moment..started with pain under my armpits, and side of breast and it’s moved all around my ribs under the breast line..feels like an iron band being tightened….anxiety through the roof… seeing your vlog was like a light at the end of a tunnel..

We had to sit through pain education lectures for a few hours, and then physical therapy and evaluations. I was on of the youngest ones there at 45 years old. I ended up being carried out by ambulances one day during pool exercises with all of my geriatric classmates watching. There were people going through what was actually a trial for various reasons. It was torture. Now, at 54, I can’t say that it did any good at all.

I did pain clinic and they gave me a tens machine. All these things and i am still suffering with walking and sitting. No one has said fibromyalgia. I feel it is due to the trauma also off the grief i suffered and am still suffering. It all started then. I don't no how to cope with daily pain much longer.

So I was diagnosed at the age of 21 .. leading up to my diagnoses when I was 14 I was sexually assaulted and it was going on for 2 years.. During my first year of recovery period in 2012 at 17 I was feeling pain in my leg and I thought I was dealing with soreness from new work out.. I started to feel the pain even worse. We did test after test like ultra sound x rays .. It was going on for years finally in 2016 when I was 21 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.. my doctors said it mainly caused by my emotional and physical trauma of my sexual assault .. I am older now and I have learned to deal with the pain .. But it’s worse when I get a cold or the flu it starts to flare up . Alot of people who don’t have it would never understand the pain I go through everyday. I am also diagnosed with ptsd autism and LD and anxiety and depression .. whenever I get a cold or the flu I have a tendency to get complications and flare ups .. people would judge me for that ..

You probably already do but have you tried probiotics? The brain and gut are linked together, if one goes wrong so does the other. When the brain is effected by the gut it effects your pain receptors, vagus nerves etc. Everything is linked. I had a nervous breakdown in 2020/2021 and I had chronic pain and fatigue and severe gut issues, As soon as I dealt with my traumas and took probiotics etc the pain subsided and now it’s when I’ve had a bad week that my neck, back and hand pain comes back.
