Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

Hello @srdodla - thank you for your private message. I think answering you here might be helpful for other members, too. You asked what my chronic pain issue was. The short answer is CSS. Since I don't discuss my pain, because that is considered a "pain behavior" which the Mayo PRC (pain rehab center) taught, it's best to share my "pre-PRC" neuropathy story of when I first came to Connect, then my "post-PRC" Connect Spotlight.

Get your popcorn ready 🍿, it's a long read!

Please let me know if you have any specific questions or concerns about your current health situation that my experiences may be able to help with. Are you concerned about permanent disability? Have you considered a pain rehabilitation program like Mayo Clinic's PRC?

I’m not too concerned about the possibility of permanent disability, but I want to get a diagnosis and I want the pain to go away.
