I've been coping with fibromyalgia for over five years now. I am constantly in pain and have fatigue. I'm 19 and I still have to deal with doctors that do not believe fibromyalgia is real and believe it is all in my head. It's frustrating since my doctor told me that my anxiety is my choice today. The only thing we can 100% agree on is that I have major depressive disorder. My doctor has allowed me to continue my cyclobenzaprine, however, so I'm always happy as long as I have my muscle relaxer and not just OTC tylenol or ibuprofen. I guess being on 4+ medications just comes with the territory. Fibromyalgia has turned my PMS into severe dysmenorrhea and I have to get a pelvic exam now. Ugh. And I haven't even mentioned my IBS symptoms or carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms or how I'm still getting painful paresthesia that prevents me from moving. Itching is painful. If I dare scratch my skin, the imprint of the pain of my fingernails scratching my skin stays there for hours, hurting and being sore. Pinching my skin is also as bad as scratching. "Get comfortable with being uncomfortable," is our motto.
