Right before my symptoms started my father had been diagnosed with brain cancer and the company I had worked for nearly ten years announced they were outsourcing our jobs. I definitely experienced emotional trauma right before all of my symptoms began. Thank you for posting this question. I think it could be helpful for newly diagnosed individuals.

Yes, mine was only emotional trauma, no physical.

Yes! It directly falls in line with symptoms

Yes and since being diagnosed counselling has made me see how much I'd been living in survival mode all these years.

I had physical and emotional abuse. I grew up in a fight or flight situation every moment of everyday for the first 15 years of my life. I think this had an impact on how my brain processes pain-fibromyalgia. 😮‍💨
