Story about Fibromyalgia .

What happened to Valerie?

Nov 12, 2015


8 years ago I was in a terrible car accident. Although I didn't suffer and external or internal injuries that we knew of I have a seizure disorder and began to seize while waiting for police to come. I had to be put in a drug induced coma to help stop them. 4 days later I woke. This was April 2007. I was doing ok through the summer but come November I had to have back issues it got to the point where I couldn't walk. My husband brought me to the doctor I was seeing at the Time. He carried me into his office. It ended up I had 3 fractures in my spine. I had emergency surgery. I had to learn to walk all over again. A year later the pains came and haven't left. Went to several doc.s. My neurologist a told me to go to a rheumatologist and it was confirmed I had Fibromyalgia.  And chronic fatigue.  I always had Epstein Barr. Since a kid. I am also fighting pernicious anemia. An autoimmune disease  where your body doesn't produce B12. More fatigue. More tiredness. Sometimes I can't even walk up a flight of steps in my house w/o being out of breathe. I'm on meds for that now. But it's taking a longtime to recover. It's bad enough your in pain all day then u have this on top of it. Then insomnia. Fibro comes w a lot more things than just pain.  My ears ring. My eyes are going bad. I have Ibs.  Just to name a few. I wish and pray they would find a cure a something close to take to help w the pain.
