Re: Cause

[Guest guest]

I was told that as well. I was also told that it could have been caused by

severe emotional trauma as well. I think many of us can relate to those two

things.

Hi All..

I was talking to a lawyer about my disability claim & his

practice is about 80-90% fms patients.. He said that

studies done in the US, Michgian I believe, have

conclusively proven that fms is cause by some sort of

physical trauma..

Anyone else heard about this?

I ruptured two disc's at c5 and c6 and had to have them removed then

fused together. My symptoms started within a couple of days after surgery.

Barb,

I found your letter interesting as I had 2 discs in my neck removed

and new ones made from my pelvic bone then fused. This was done

almost 11 years ago but my problems didn't start until 3 years ago

and I was diagnosed 1 year ago. I have always considered my surgery

a success but I suppose it is possible that it led to all this. I

had no choice in the matter, it was an emergency situation that just

came on very suddenly when I woke up in pain one day, with the pain

increasing every day.

cam a bit worse after that surgery.

Its it funny that all this time you have it in your body and don't know it till

some thing happens to start it off. I have bruised easy sence I was little, My

minmer started after I had my son. I had 4 car accdents hit in the butt. And

has any one had BELLS PUSIY I think that is how it is spelled. I did 18 years

ago. Rox.

Oh I know what you mean Margaret...mine was the same way. I woke up

one morning in the worst pain of my life. And my left arm was

partially paralized. I was sent to a neurosurgeon that day and had my

surgery 5 days later.

My husband and I have narrowed the start of my FM down to just a few

days after my surgery. I always worry when I hear of someone having

surgery on their spine because of the possibilty of developing FM. I

wouldn't want my worst enemy to have this horrific illness. I know my

situation was an emergancy and it had to be done, if only I had known

what my future was going to be like after the surgery.

That's what I've read. Physical trauma to the body, for example

whiplash .. it can even be surgery!

Emotional trauma can also be an issue for some people.

Emotional trauma also played a small role in my getting

fibromyalgia. In the years before I was diagnosed with

fibromyalgia I was also trying to recover from having tended to

my maternal grandmother both on the physical aspect (because

other health issues I had became more challenging during that

time) and the emotional aspect. I didn't start to notice

symptoms of what turned out to be fibromyalgia til about 3 to 4

months after my grandma died at the age of 91.

When I had surgery last year to check the status of one of my

other medical problems I did have a bit of an issue with my

fibro acting up.

So I can empathize with that. I've also met some women who had

more serious types of female surgery: hysterectomy and within a

few hours started to have symptoms of fibro because of the

trauma to the body.

Amazing all the variables that can occur with fibro.

There was a huge article on fibro thru one of the pain

newsletters I get that came out of the University of Michigan

that was very excellent.

The 2 Drs. that DX me both asked me about recent trama. cerbal contusion from

motorcycle accident in 1978 I know thats not recent but I haven't been the same

since. About a year ago I suffered amitriptyline poisoning almost died. My

stupid Dr. at the time dismissed or just missed my FM alltogether and I was

taking to much amitriptyline because sleep was the only relief from the pain

that I was in. I've been in other accidents also. But after the amitriptyline

overdose my FM started roaring like a lion it was even biting me hard. But I

have read somewhere on the net about trama being a possible

trigger..................

Oh Yea I forgot about emotional trama as well. After my amitriptylin poisoning

trama I moved in w/my parents while my stepDad was dying

of alzheimers and diabetes and helping take care of him took alot out of

evryone in the house. Though my older brother was a nursing student he did

absolutely nothing to help so late nights I was the one helping my mom change

his diapers wich was the scource of a great deal of resentment considering

stepDad bought him a nice 2004 Ford f-150

and never charge him a dime for rent in 4 years. Thats a good one for the vent

group so I guess I'll vist that site next.LOL.................Love

Trauma and extreme stress, from what I've read, very much contribute to

fibro. The thing to remember is that you may have had symptoms that were

just explained away but started long, long before you were diagnosed.

I wish I could say that the symptoms started long ago (like

about 10 years) before I was diagnosed. Until 2000 I didn't

have anything that could indicate the possibility of fibro.

I've only been dealing with this for a short time but sometimes

it feels longer than it really is.
