Living with Fibromyalgia
As far as I can remember, I have had physical pain. It all started at the age of 5, I had been complaining of pain in the upper body that led to my arms and fingers. I can't really remember complaining to my mother but what I remember is that she took me to the doctor, and that's where my story begins. The doctor examined me and the results: Muscle Scolioses. What caused it? Nobody knew. This was back in 1993 when fibromyalgia was a very unknown condition and considered something that did not really exist, all in your head, all in your mind. But why would a 5-year-old kid make up pain or even be thinking of pain if it didn't feel pain?
