Re: Dealing with anger

What you are feeling is grief of your lost former life. Grief has 7 stages, and your on the 3rd stage of anger. Google grief stages and you'll understand.

I understand because I felt the exact same way. I was told I had fibromyalgia by and acupuncturist, but I thought it was just muscle spasms in my back. But I started getting so sick that I couldn't consentrate that I dropped out of school for the same course as yourself.

I ended up getting so sick with fibromyalgia that I became bedridden for 3 yrs. At that time there was a doctor shortage in the area I lived...but finally I found a doctor. He gave me the meds that are supposed to help people with fibromyalgia

I thought I would get back my life, not! I finally went to the library and looked up the symptoms of fibromyalgia, and there are mega symptoms that I lived with so long I thought they were normal. Now I realize that the symptoms are not going to end but get worse over time. And they did...I used to have days where I felt almost normal but now...all of the pain days drift into the others.

I believe I'm finally at the last stage of acceptance. I've accepted that I just have to learn to deal with it. I have to look for ways to aleviate my symptoms, and work them into my daily life. And along the way do my best to enjoy life.

They say exercise such as, Tia Chi, aquasize, & yoga helps. We are to get involved in hobbies that release stress. But the thing is we have to learn to focus & push ourselves past the pain & keep on living life. I've noticed I feel much better when I eat more raw veggies. I'm even going to research the "gluten free" diet the one lady mentioned above.

I think Fibromyalgia is about taking extra care of our bodies. If we do we just end up healthier than the average person. Tweet
