Mine was caused by a tv falling on top of me. It was one of those old old tv and I was pulling it down a wheelchair ramp at a daycare. A boy pushed it to help me and it wasn't tied down. Needless to say if fell on top of me. Before that I was very active.

Well, I was on Penicillin a lot when I was 6 or so. (Now they say to avoid that, so who knows what it might have done to my immune system.) Then I got a 3rd-degree back burn at 13. I remember always feeling like I should have more energy, even as a child.

Each of my 3 pregnancies brought more problems. By 34 I was a mess. I was finally diagnosed at 36.

My doc told me way back when it could possibly have been a combination of a car accident, my divorce, my job and a move to a new town with no family or friends. Who truly knows?

Wow, this was very interesting to read so many reasons why we have fibromalgia. Seems accidents, stress on our bodies, deliveries, medications seem to be high on the list. I hope someone that does statistics takes these and can use them for research.

Mine came at a time when I had been working around Difolitan for about a year {a byproduct of pesticides, so deadly, it is not for use or sale in the US. Close relative of Agent Orange... what killed my Father BTW} 

Anyway, my FM basically got worse and worse over the next 25 years, up until 2 1/2 years ago, when I just turned my OCD loose (a psychological issue, right ? :) onto health and fitness, and working out like theres no tomorrow !

Yes, I still have FM, but now I kick it's *** daily ! ...when before, it was completely kicking mine.

Peace,

Fish

Hello everyone,

I was just diagnosed recently. My symptoms started after several traumatic events in my life. I lost my brother to suicide, then my 17 year old sister was killed by a drunk driver, the stress of that lead to a miscarriage and then 2 months after that my father-in-law past away after a 10 year battle with multiple mylomia. Needless to say I also started suffering from severe anxiety, PTSD and depression. I found out I was pregnant again on the day my father in law passed. My little girl is now 5 months old and a doll baby. I am blessed to have her but the pregnancy with her "was the straw that broke the camels back." I had know something was wrong for over three years and continued to have multiple tests done, even exploratory surgery. I have a piece of mind with the diagnosis and am glad bc it could be worse.

-Always live for today because you never know what tomorrow might bring OR what it might take away!

Mine started about 26 years ago after falling off of a horse and bruising my back. It started with headaches and TMJ. Since then, it has just gotten worse due to different events. It has gotten much worse since I fell down my front steps and bruised my tailbone. I developed shingles a few days after that and everything has gone downhill since then. It was actually pretty mild until that happened. It seems to get worse with every new trama.
