My Fibromyalgia Journey I have memories of aches and pains throughout my childhood. When I was a teenager I had problems with headaches that caused me to miss a lot of school. I was always overweight compared to my school friends, never very active but always participated in class activities when I had to. At the end of my final High School year I got a part-time job in a takeaways, taking orders, making the burgers and toasted sandwiches, and wrapping the deep-fried foods. When I first started wrapping the deep-fried foods, I sprained my wrist on the first day, from the action of tipping out the contents of the baskets. This, in my opinion, was a major trigger; the aches in my wrists and hands never went away, and in fact spread to other locations. In 1983, when I was
18 and in my first year at Auckland University, my doctor at the time explained the aches
and pains I was experiencing on a regular basis as 'arthritis'. He gave me
anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and I took them for many years, only complaining
when I thought they weren't working properly any more. I would then be given a
different NSAID, which I convinced myself for a while was doing the job. continued in "My Progress #1" |
