a cry for help…

I need support. My fiance recently broke up with me because of my ‘walls’. I went to a therapist and she suggested I have a full physical by my doctor. I haven’t felt like myself in 2 1/2 years and this really hurt my relationship with my ex. I was living in pain about 80% of the time and i couldn’t find a doctor to listen to me. I had chronic yeast infections, and went from being a positive person to be negative and lethargic. I was told yesterday I have fibro. I’ve, also, found out my fiance cheated on me. I’m so mad at my illness, and I don’t even understand it yet. It got to the point that my ex couldn’t touch me, even a playful tickle would send me into waves of panic. I’m only 21…is this the rest of my life? I’m working two jobs and trying to finish up school…i have know idea what I’m going to do with my life. The one solid thing in my life is gone and turned out to be a lie. Please somebody reach out to me.

  • ME TOO! - by Elizabeth - (Fri, Feb 13 2009)
    It started out as having headaches. Constantly getting shots. I could not get anyone to believe that my headaches and pain were not associated. Finally, the last straw. I saw a Doctor at Duke University Hospital. They diagnosed me from just looking over my 2″ thick history. Then they did the trigger point exam. [more..]
