I've always has pain whenever I had smear done but this one today was excruitating & I couldn't let the nurse finish it. It was when she was opening the speculum to find the cervix never ever been so painful that I couldn't let them finish. Is this usual for fibro sufferers?
Just got more painful the older I got. They probably rush us too which doesn't help. Explain next time that fibro causes increased pain sensation.
By the way....I'm 66 and weight is perfect...no meds....and sex is awesome....I'm telling you there is hope and healing is possible....
Over all every thing is more sensitive....the reason so many body parts are affected is EBV....epstein barr virus...95% have it...and usually it is dormant...our modern life does not allow us to just Be....we are human doings...adrenaline is always pumping.... I am now retired have had fibro 26 years... Progesterone building foods can help thyroid ...it needs to be putting out hormones in balance....EBV loves stress and poor diet....our liver usually gets rid of toxins that now our poor bodies don't get the rest or foods it needs to keep virus down... apples bananas greens Boston lettuce spinach Spring greens artichokes asparagus there are many more look up or Google progesterone supporting foods also the book by Anthony William the medical medium Helped me it's been 4 years EBV does not go away but it can be suppressed... we have to get rid of sugar in excess I have treats I make in ayurvedic cook book.... Anthony Williams book has many answers ...i cant cover here...good recipes too...it's a life change ....but it works I'm better than I was.... I used to cry everyday... I smile more and am more involved in my living then I was able to be ....good luck
Fibro pains can be different for everyone nine was constant pains but then weather change can trigger the pains worse just touching the skin can trigger the pain with me everything trigger the pains
i had a really bad experience with a smear once. It was so painful and I bled for 3 days afterward, I do have a tilted womb but don't want to go through that again and yes and medical procedure will be more painful
