Fibromyalgia

Hi l am 63 and l was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1993. It started with my knees, when l got down on my knees to hover my car out, l noticed my knees were hurting me. Then after that l went shopping and when l bent down to get my shopping out of the trolley to pay for them, my ribs touched the side of the trolley and they were hurting me. l thought it had something to do with my op which l had in 1993, so l put no notice of it but it got worse so l when to my doctor. He give me some medication but that did not help so l when back, he took a blood test and my results came back and he said l have polymyalgia and fibromyalgia. So he sent me to hospital and they told me that l don't have polymyagia but l have fibromyalgia which started in my 40's. l started feeling unwell and l could not walk far so l had to use a walking stick after taking my medication. l was feeling a bit better l was working at the time then l had breathing problems and they told me l have asthma. Then came acid reflux symptoms. l was a driver for children with special needs, l been doing this job for 8 years and then l had a change, l went on escorting instead of driving it's the same job but you are with the children. This was another job l was with them for 4 years but in 2014, everything stared to get worse where l could not get on the mini bus so l had to give my job up. l had to give driving up because of my brain and l lose concentration, so l stopped driving, l don't go out much now because l lose my balance so l have to have someone with me all the time. l use a mobile scooter on long distances like when l was on a holiday and on short distance, l use a wheel chair. At the moment l don't feel like going out, l can not make a conversion because l lose my concentration and l tend to forget what l am saying so l don't speak to people much now. l use to phone my mum every day but sadly she died in 2017, and my dad died in 2005. l am ok because l have my own family to talk to when they are here lol, but nevermind life goes on sending me hugs to those who are suffering like me.
