No, but inflammation is a common thread for both FMS and many mental illnesses and disorders.
This is including schizoid personality disorder and other but unrelated disorders on the schizophrenia spectrum.
Yes I had to become a new person. I can edit my book and work on my quilt at 10 minutes to a good rest after.
It is difficult to keep friends. But the ones I have understand when I cannot make it out. I was a very social person. I feel like some days I am going against myself. But grateful that eventually I do see my friends for quick visits
Have a good day.
Before I was finally diagnosed with fibro, I went to the Chicago Headache Clinic for my migraines. The put me on Lyrica. I gained 25 lbs in 6 weeks and was 10ft tall & bullet proof. My husband had to leave me alone for a week in Chicago. I decided to sight see. And did by myself. On the night before flying home I talked with the nurses at the clinic & told them what I'd seen, where I'd gone & how I got around. They all turned white. Guess it was some pretty dangerous areas.
I went home & back to work, still bullet proof. Scared my husband. After 6 weeks, they took me off of it. My point is sometimes when a person takes prescribed medication we don't see the affect but others can. And many of the meds given for fibro can change a person's personality.
I don’t think so
