Fibromyalgia And Past Traumas
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Many of my treating health professionals have told me that fibromyalgia is most common in people who have had past trauma, I had childhood trauma and suffer depression and complex PTSD.
I am interested to know if this is the case, you don’t have to go into details just a yes or no is ok , did you suffer trauma?

I’ve read that in many publications and had one doctor ask me if I suffered childhood abuse. I am wary of this because it’s a docs way of putting what you’re going through down to “psychological” because they can’t fix you so it must be caused by mental health issues. Having said that, I went for solution based therapy due to a serious situation in my family, mainly involving my Mother and oldest son. The therapist identified long standing emotional abuse by my Mother and suggested maybe I have C-PTSD. Honestly, I don’t think I have C-PTSD but I do recognize that I was emotionally abused by her my entire life. Funny how when you’re in a relationship, especially with someone like a parent whose meant to love you, you don’t see things for what they are. I do know stress and emotional pain certainly increases my symptoms but I don’t accept that this illness is strictly psychologically based.

I have suffered from many losses. My husband of 17 yrs in a car accident. Then i lost my little brother then mother after that my little sister and just recently my hero...my father. So basically im an orphan now. Thats part of the cause beaides the fact i have severe chronic anxiety and worry about things that are sometimes blown up in my mind or just anxious for all that we go thru. Sorry so long. Take care everyone💜🙏

Yes, but it can happen without that as well.

Narcissistic mother, sister and extended family. I'm thinking of doing therapy, yet again and I dread it. My cousin is trying eye movement therapy and I'm so curious about that.
