Central Sensitization - please share your stories

Posted by Rachel, Volunteer Mentor @rwinney, Apr 14, 2020

Hello everyone
I would like to better understand this diagnosis from personal experiences and compare what I feel to others accounts. I have not been diagnosed with central sensitization however, it seems to line up. Thank you very much and I look forward to reading your stories.

I have long covid and seeing Nattokinas might help any studies I could get in to

i was diagnosed a few years ago and i 100% agree and understand now what's happening to me. i am in process of setting up neurology appointments with MAYO to confirm but i already know. i have had several back injuries in the past 20 years and one day i merely stepped off the curb and it felt like i was hit by lightning and fell prostate into the street where i was thankfully gathered up and taken to the ER. After seeing several terrible run of the mill pill pushing primaries i went to the Anoka pain clinic and thankfully i found a doctor who hit the nail on the head. My doctor suffers from parkinson and i think the illuminating factor was when she very lightly touched me and my whole body locked up. She described it to me as my CNS being STUCK in FIGHT OR FLIGHT mode. i have been denied disability 5 times now yet i can not make it to the back of the grocery store without having to stop walking due to the pain and have not gotten a full nights sleep in years.

will update after appointment with mayo
