Pain seems to be one of the last symptoms i noticed. Even after slurring and almost every other symptom of fibro and MS both... I was initially seen by all the specialists bc of high white blood count, ms symptoms, and worry of stroke. I didnt even know what fibro was except comments by normal ppl.
You might be right because I have seen some things lately about disorganization and fibro patients. I have thought for many years that my lack of organization for over a decade all started with a divorce, then I attended grad school and taught public school for over a decade, Lately I have wondered if I might have been developing fibro for years before it got diagnosed, and I didn't experience pain back then like I do now. It's hard for me to get motivated to do things in the house, and when I was working fulltime it was all I could do to keep up with work my job entailed, much less keep my house organized and clean like I have managed in the past.
Mine started 2 years prior to getting pain. The anxiety and exhaustion nervousness symptoms come first.
I trip a lot at work and find out I have one fractured bone. End of the month we find out if I have done more damage.
I am ocd so everything use to be perfect and now I just can't seem to get it done. Pain exhaustion and I forget what I walked into a room for. Driving me nuts. But I have migraines and trigeminal and occipital neuralgia. So always plenty of pain to go around
This also was going on for a few years before pains and sensations and clumsy. The neuro changes were gradual until it all came together but pain was last thing i noticed. I cant organize . i cant read in organized way most of the time. I get dislexia now and have many word problems. Ive always been top notch speller. Im trying to go to community college but this is destroying it. Working became a problem also for me. I was a bartender and server. I do miss an organized...anything.😊
