Welcome to Info4Fibro,
As mentioned above this is a blog in order to educate about fibromyalgia. The other reason it was made was to create awareness. My name is Waleed and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in February 2009. Since november 2008 I pulled both my left chest as well as the top left of my back. I experienced severe chest pains and back pains for 3 months.
During this transition I began experiencing symptoms such as intense stomach burns, pain in my legs, muscle pain, muscle twitches, dizziness, chronic fatigue( always present), etc. Most of these symptoms have been present ever since. The first five months I admit I was confused and terrified, no one knew what was wrong and tests kept coming back negative. I am 21 today and slowly pulling myself back together, back in school and work.
The reason I created this blog is simply due to the fact that fibromyalgia is not known by most of the population, was even criticized by health professionals and is still not fully understood.
I want to create awareness amongst my college, peers & extend my knowledge on this issue. I want to prove it does exist from real people experiencing fibromyalgia, such as you & I, or even those who are caring or deeply involved with this issue. If anyone be willing to leave a comment. We could all begin by saying when we were diagnosed and what symptoms we have been experiencing. I have also realized my vitamin D was low from a recent blood test.
So dont be shy and post your thoughts fibromites !
