About 25 years ago, I was stressing about a case in my practice as a psychotherapist. Consequently, I woke up one morning with a humdinger of a crick in my neck. It proceeded to get worse, so I went to the doc in the box on the corner, and he prescribed a muscle relaxer. After taking the medication for approximately 3-4 weeks without any relief, I started quest to find out what was really wrong with me.
Symptoms can include:
Chronic muscle pain, spasms, or tightness
Fatigue and decreased energy
Insomnia
Stiffness
Difficulty remembering things
Irritable bowel syndrome
Tension or migraine headaches
Jaw and facial tenderness
Sensitivity to such things as: noise, bright lights, heat, and cold, to list a few
Anxiety and depression
Numbness or tingling in extremities
I developed planters faciotu
Increased urination
Muscle pain, I felt like an octopus was attached to my back!
Swelling in hands or feet
This is not a complete list! I am always hearing folks talk about additional symptoms that they experience.
All I know is that fibromyalgia is the pits!!!!!
Please feel free to share your experiences with this and other related pain conditions!
Take care.
