Guest guest Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Marie, in answer to your questions, 1) my fibro was brought on " full force " in 2001 when I had surgary to remove a lump from my left breast. Before that I had hurt on occasion but never more than a couple of extra strength tylenol wouldn't handle. The day I woke up from the surgary I hurt from my head to my feet SEVERELY... it has been that way ever since. 2) As for depression, I have suffered from depression and insomnia for most of my life. Those two problems were brought on due to being sexually assaulted when I was a teenager. I was even to the point of being suicidal when I was about 30 but never received treatment for the depression until I was diagnosed with the fibro. N. > Hi All: > my Questions are... > > 1.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 OK answer to question #1 I have had so many traumatic experiences am not sure what it was exactly... could be a number of things that went on in the end of 1995 to the end of 1996..... lost my 2nd baby to death in the womb, said that my body ate it.. that was very hard for me to take,,, then became very ill afterwards with extreme pain and everyone said it was in my head till months later when they found out that my gall bladder was very bad off and decided to take it out... then my husband of 12 years told me he was cheating on me and was leaving me for someone far better than i could ever be..... then like 2 months later was hit head on by a drunk driver and totaled my brand new car. Pick one!~ #2 Question.... i have been depressed before but not to this extent... and was never diagnosed with it till 2 years ago.. and then a year and a half later was diagnosed with Fms.... okies that answers them lol hugs Huggles you lots Sophia -------Original Message------- From: marieava Date: 12/24/04 20:03:44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Marie, I had no traumatic experiences before the fibro, but I do think it was brought on by stress. I've had anxiety problems for years before I got fibro, and depression too, but not as bad as it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a traumatic experience happen to bring on fibro? > > and if so How long after the Expirience was you diagnosed with Fibro? > Who knows?, for me. Take your pick of traumatic experiences as a child. I've been more in control of the kind of people I've been around as an adult. A couple of years ago I had some pain that the dr could never find a cause for. She suspected that I had some virus in my system (like the chicken pox virus) that lay dormant most of the time, and stress made it act up. She told me that, but never diagnosed anything. > 2.

Depression runs in my family. I don't know if the fibromyalgia has made it worse because I don't know for sure if the fibro began only this year after my pg losses. That is certainly when the immobilizing pain began. Lily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Debi Y: (((((((Debi)))))) you are not the only one who wish's Christmas didn't come this year.. I will actually be glad when tomorrow come's...(the day after) I have always had depression, but since I was diagnosed with FMS it has gotten oh so much worse.. word's cannot even describe it at time's.. sometime's I feel like just giving up completly.. but then I know that is not an answer and it is only a fleeting thought.. I did not go through Sexual abuse, 2 rape's,being beat by my second husband on a daily basis,2 car accidnet's. and more miscarriages than I can even count. and the loss of my beautiful son a year ago.. to let this darn illness get to me I fi didn't let all the rest get to me I darn sure will not let this illness take me down with out a fight..
