Fibromyalgia HopePlus Knowledge and Action
Description
I was in a car accident in 1985 at the age of 21. It was a mild accident, but within ten days, I could hardly move. My muscles were extremely tight. The biggest step I could take was heel to toe. I could barely touch my knees. I had chronic pain that roamed throughout my body, to different areas, daily.
I was given an 85% disability by a chiropractor who said, "There's nothing I can do for you." Another doctor gave a more conservative 40% disability a couple of years later.
It took two years to get a diagnosis of post-traumatic myofascial pain syndrome. I know a lot of you have waited longer than that for a diagnosis. The term fibromyalgia wasn't coined until a few years later.
