I believe when I fell from the attic in 2005 and fractured my left pelvis, that my body finally gave in. I struggled off and on for a couple of years while recuperating with a lot of unusual symptoms so to speak. I had concurrently been diagnosed with Osteoperosis for which I was young and had started to shed some light on what the bigger picture was. It was in February of 2009 that I realized that something was damaged. I have done a lot of research after visiting many Doctors, given other diagnosis in addition to the FM and now believe my FM is due to a lot of trauma, not just a 6' fall from the attic.
I am a victim of neglect and childhood abuse (as well as being in a sense battered by an older sibling for much of my life). I had been malnourished, at least until I learned how to grocery shop and cook :). I believe that my body, which did not have a great foundation, a central nervous system on overload from fighting the dysfunction as well as all of the physical trauma That my body just could not take any more. I can recall things as far back as 2o years ago that may have actually been FM.
With all that being said, I finally learned to set limits and to eliminate the dysfunctional people because they cannot be helped, out of my Blessed Happy Life . I may have physical conditions as a result, but I can finally breathe and focus on positive energy. I can do nothing about what these people did to contribute to the traumas my body has faced in the past nor the aftermath of what I am facing, but I can control going forward. What I did not have as a child, God truly blessed me with my own children and husband.
