Hoping For A Brand New ME.

I have just recently found this forum and do intend to read and educate myself and use the daily tips etc. I have been diagnoses with severe PTSD and to just sum it up... my body hurts. I hurt everywhere, every muscle hurts even my fingers . It moves around like a pain "parade" and can be different everyday. I am testing for fibromyalgia ...but I already suspect that it will be confirmed. Apparrently PTSD and fibromyalgia simply go together . A diagnosis will not change much. My massage therapist directed me to this forum...so here I am ! I totally believe that mentally and emotionally ,I am so severely wounded that my body is now reacting . I need help .. rather, I need to help myself. So, Hi everyone, I am just getting started . I am very teachable, so please offer any advise or support ! Thanks

 

Welcome, you have come to the right place. You also have a good massage therapists, to see the mental aspect of this!

I wouldn't worry about you fibro diagnosis, it is tms. Time to get to work, start reading and gathering knowledge. Get in your head like you have never been before and look at your relationships. Including the one with yourself. Good luck and take your time. We are what we believe.
