Vicious Cycle of Fibromyalgia and Emotional Impact: What to Do
Author and FM survivor Rosalie Devonshire writes, "If you had been a healthy, active person and develop fibromyalgia, the symptoms can create havoc in your life. Your inability to engage in activities you once enjoyed can cause you to become frustrated, angry, worried, or depressed. Your inability to meet the needs of your children, spouse, job, or community may contribute to a sense of inadequacy and worthlessness...These are all normal reactions to the losses you suffer when fibromyalgia strikes.

To Be Young and Living with Pain: "Fibromyalgia wracks my body, but I won't let it ruin my life"'
Amy Chow writes, "I remember the exact moment I knew something was wrong. One day at ballet practice I noticed a sudden weakness in both my arms and couldn’t raise them over my head.

These immortalized words have rung true repeatedly throughout the sordid history of humankind. Yet it should seem startling that Dylan's words might apply to physicians, who recite the Hippocratic Oath, and promise to ease pain and suffering and 'do no harm.' Nonetheless, these words too often do apply to physicians, perhaps no more frequently than when many such physicians are asked to deal with fibromyalgia (FM)." |
