I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I enjoy having massages of my back and neck, but can’t stand to have my legs or arms massaged…the pain is intense more in my legs. In the last year, it is difficult to get thru the BP test before most doctor visits. I try to relax, but my brain is yelling, “it hurts, it hurts, it hurts” resulting in a high blood pressure readine. At home, I use a wrist monitor which causes no issues; my GP prefers I use the regular Home BP machine with arm cuff…I attach it loosely and most of the time it works fine with little to no pain. (If the cuff is too loose, it will error out, and I just try again. This all started at age 50 when I fell down 17 stairs in our basement; I smashed my T8 vertebra (it looked like a squashed beer can!) Then had a new type of back surgery for that time…a Kyphoplasty. The pain from the fall, moving forward was always intense. I was sure if I could continue living with that type of pain. It improved a little bit after 1 year, and became much more management after 5 years. Living with this ongoing back pain from my injury (which has never resolved) I get an annual radio frequency ablation to spinal nerve roots from vertebrae above an below my damaged T8 vertebrae. This has developed into an automatic response to pain, as instant pathway to nausea and vomiting which still exsists for even moderate pain. I think my Fibromyalgia developed from these circumstance; and because I have several autoimmune diseases & conditions. How did you find out you had Fibromyalgia, what were the circumstances?
