Living with Fibromyalgia

I started at age 23 to have lots of problems with my periods,also lots of allergy and bowel problems. At the time I was a mother of 3 young children and a 14yr. old step son. My step son was getting into trouble with the law. My husband and I had a very stressful relationship. I had my 3 children by C-section births,1966,1969,1971(than tubes tied). No doctor would accept the fact that I felt it may be due to hormonal imbalances,as test showed nothing.

I developed eating disorder and sleep problems. I became more and more tried and easlily overstressed. I had heavy periods with lots of heavy clots. I started having bowel problems,spastic colon.Scar tissue from c-sections formed causing me a lot of pain. Soon I had Atrophic vaginitis and Uterine fibroids,tumors, or growths, made up of muscle and other tissues that grow in the uterus. Than I had spastic colon. Than more severe allergy problems. Than vitilgo(depigmentation of the skin,which runs in my family). Than dry eye and eye inflamation allergy problems.Soon I have connective auto immune sydrome. Than low thyroid. Than lichen sclerosis of the vaginal area. Soon I am dignosed with sjorgens and mixed connective autoimmune syndrome of unknown oringin. Blood test show possible Lupus cell,not confrimed.

Now we have Skin,Eye,Bowel,Urine tract,Allergy,skin and sinus. Soon we get dignosed with fibromyalgia and osteoporis. So on and on it goes.I give up,the doctors guess is as good as mine. I am on my thyroid medicine and eye drops,stool softners and as is need other treatments. To many reactions to meds. to try other treatments. Copping by not working,taking crying spells and down time as needed. Listening to music,yoga and temper fits when needed. That,s it. My faith in God and a great family keeps me hanging in here.
