Living with Fibromyalgia

HI! my name is colleen. I was involved in a car accident whilst stationary on a bridge on the gold coast in australia. The light had turned red and the traffic stopped i was about 3/4 across i guess going south and quietly enjoying a man put his boat towards the yettie to my left noticing the car in front had great tread for an older modle car . Then bang i had my foot on the brake and was smashed forward with such force i smashed into the car in fronts rear end and i was a safe 1/2 car length away . All i recall is the jolt then crashing again only to watch my sterio flying out of the dash as my face hit the stering wheel. I instantly stayed still because i heard several crack sounds and was unsure if i were hurt. Anyway long storie short finnally got out of car after letting my hubby know id smashed the car. To full on adrenilian . Hubby made me drive home and back to pick him up in an hour.

Next day went to doctor told him of my injuries he did a few tests and left it at that. Anyway after some time im still not right so he sends me to a shrink go figure who puts me on all these weird and horrible drugs for years tripping me out , only for my solicitor wanting answers, i was found to have fractures in my thumb, in my ankle, a crack in my back disk, a herniated disk, had got no arches in my feet. And now this at least it explains my black outs and my falling only to hurt myself more and forgetfullness to the point of stupidity. And of course the pain and the head aches they are always there but sometimes blinding faling only to turn in right ankle then the right and all i want to do is sleep to get over it i guess.

My body told me i wasn’t ok so please read my storie and dont let this happen to you. I nearly have lost my husband and my children because i just wanted relief and no one could understand what was happening to me. Just a little to hopefully help. all the best , and thank you for the chance to maybe help someone else.
