Re: WHY?

Bless you, Lisa. Indeed you were exposed to many traumatic situations, all
of which can have a profound effect on your having FM today! The good news
is that you are aware of it!! Really. Many go through their whole lives
asking, "Why me?" without taking charge of their own lives. I'm glad you
found some solace in this group. Nanny

My biggest question has not ever been why me, but what. What causes
it.
Does it start slow and get worse then even out or does it hit hard all
at
once. I don't know how long I've really had FMS even.

I used to try to figure the why me's of it all! now I know what could
have contributed.
Growing up in a violent home, I worked mostly, very physical none
customary jobs.
I used to make contact lenses, we used a chemical called
trichloroethane. I found out years later it was highly carcinogenic, we
used it like water. When it dried it left a powder residue we breathed
that in as the ventilation was terrible. I had to have polyps removed
from my sinuses twice one was cancer. I believe it was caused by the
chemical I worked with but no one knows for sure. When I became a
Cosmetologist, I specialised in hair colour, more chemicals.
Because my husband was a fisherman, i used to go with him than I stayed
home with our children. I volunteered at their school, developed a step
aerobic program I thought 3 classes 3 days a week and loved every min
of it.
I have lived with symptoms creeping up on me over the years looking
back at it all.
All the things that are on the list of possible causes for my FMS it
seems, I was primed for. It may be too late for me but, I know my
daughters had a much much better start in life etc. than I did. I keep
that thought in the back of my mind and pray they are not touched by
FMS. I was born with a severe cleft palate and other conditions. Having
children was a gamble, my daughters were normal in every way I feel
very lucky that way. Although I suffer with unimaginable pain from FMS
and Arthritis. I am relieved my children and now grandchildren live
much different lives than I grew up with.
