Well it’s another day, of unwilling, and being bored, searching around the Internet for stuff about Fibromyalgia, and researching some information on the Doctors.

In my travels today, I found a really spectacular website, Wikipedia. On there I found a lot of good information, that is freely available to be copied and read, thanks to the lovely piece of legal artwork called the GNU Free Documentation License.

While perusing the site I found what I consider to be a pretty much dead on definition of Fibromyalgia and it’s treatments.

Another cool site I found is FibroHugs. I really like the article this one Doctor wrote about the treatment of Fibromyalgia. Notably this thoughts on Passive Stretching, exercise therapies that include aquatic therapy, and treatment of psychological distress.

Unfortunately, some of the research that I am doing is leading me to believe that my Fibromyalgia is genetic in some ways. Specifically the Deposition Disease Therory portions from the definition about calcium deposits in the body. But the good thing, is the same literature supports that my Fibromyalgia is secondary to my physical and psychological injuries. Which were industrial in relation.

After having had a the kidney stone a couple years ago, I think there is a possibility that I’ve always had this underlying condition, but didn’t have any symptoms till I sustained my industrial injuries, begining with being unfairly treated and stressed out at work. Also since the work injuries, dealing with my life in general has become one big stressful situation. The majority due to lawyers, adjusters, and the lack of help from the Doctors I’ve seen who don’t understand what’s wrong with me. Another cause, is illness, and if I am remembering correctly, when I first started at Eyematic, I was working long hours and got sick after about a month or so and then had to take time off work to recuperate. When I returned, the unfair stress began. Since then my nose has always been kind of stuffy, like I can usually only breathe clearly out of one nostril.

Something that kind of bothers me in the back of my mind. If my Fibromyalgia is genetic, if and when I have children will they eventually have to deal with the debilitating effects as I now live with everyday? I hope not. I hope business practices become better, and that unfair stressful situations will be a thing of the past.

Have I mentioned lately how much I like blogging? Google’s blogger makes it really easy to work on my writing, save my work and come back to it when I have more energy.

One more thing: The internet rules!
