Don't forget the feeling like you've been hit by a truck!
I always baffles me why people think we're doing this to get attention. Sure, I woke up one day 30 years ago and decided I'd get a disease that would completely ruin any hope of having a life. It just makes me so angry sometimes that the people who are supposed to love and support us turn on us.
Thank you! I am new to this group, and diagnosis as well. I, myself have been confused, since you can’t “see” the problem. I always hear people talk about pain and fatigue, but this is the first time I have seen someone compare it to the flu. That is how I have explained it, but I wasn’t sure if it was in my head, or part of FM. I have been hesitant to take narcotics, but I am taking lyrica. Do meds like tramodol and Percocet help with the “flu like” pains, or only with the more serious pains? This is all so confusing…
