PROLOGUE

My Life with Fibromyalgia

jacqueline prives golburgh

I’ve had fibromyalgia all my life. I wasn’t a healthy child. I was born into misery. I was always sad and my surroundings were sad. I didn’t like food and only ate candy. My mother treated me very badly because of this. I was a scrawny kid. Every bug that came my way I caught. A cold always turned into bronchitis Getting up in the morning to go to school was hell for me. I just wanted to stay home and when I got there go home. I was very tired all the time. My stomach ached and so did my head. The doctors told my mother TLC. I didn’t get it. No one knew what was wrong with me. I threw up in the morning. My mother pushed me out into the hall and I threw up out there. In my teens I developed asthma. I really couldn’t pay attention in high school and would often fall asleep in class. I got such rolling bronchial coughs and was so embarrassed by them. I had to leave the room and could never finish a test.

I sought refuge in boys. There was no lack of them. I married at 19 and had my first child at 21. I had 3 by the age of 28. At 27 I contracted Spinal Meningitis. This is a rare occurrence and generally happens to people with low immune systems. Then I developed excruciating migraines. They came often. Nothing took them away. I had to knock myself out with 40mgs of Valium. That was really the end of life as I knew it. I could no longer dance or garden, clean house or work out. When Imitrex (for Migraines) came along it was my savior. My pain progressed to my neck, shoulders, back and attacked my legs and feet. I could never keep up with my chores or with others. At 40 I had a Ceicle Vulvulus my colon turned over on itself. I had a resection and the recovery was particularly difficult.

At one point when I was on my feet too much I asked for a prescription for a Duragesic Patch.(this is Fentenyl which is 100s of times stronger than morphine.) I read about this in a Fibromyalgia Network newsletter. At first it seemed like a miracle. All pain had disappeared. This was deception. I slept for two years. The Doctor (who gave it to me) called me a drug addict and threw me out of his practice He’s dead now and I’m glad.

The next Doctor, a Rheumatologist, gave me Methadone. I took 40mgs a day. Over a period of 5 years Methadone made me sicker and weaker and finally bedridden. I was always so sweaty and chilled I was frightened. I was advised by a Neurologist  headache specialist to never go off methadone. But I had to. I chose to go into a detox ward in a hospital. The Doctors say I’m a miracle.

It took 2 years for my body to start making Dopamine again. Dopamine is the feel good endorphin. The body takes almost 3 years to begin making Dopamine once again. So I felt nothing at all. I was completely lost. They were rough years mentally but I got through them with the help of my family and my wonderfully kind psychologist.

Today I have a clear mind and I’m grateful for this. I am 66 years old and I live with a lot of pain but I’m a happy person. I do and have always done the best I can in life. I have 3 sons and 4 grandchildren. And I have a supportive husband for 25 of 48 years. What dreams may come.

Dedication

I dedicate this book to the millions of people around the globe suffering with auto-immune diseases.

Author’s Quote

"I am strong and fragile and love and surprise.

I am as tender as a mother’s touch as the morning dew rises every day anew."

December 23rd

Forty Eight years ago with snow piled high on the ground two little kids were married. We were so excited and had been waiting for 3 and 1/2 years. I had been through a lot of fittings because I kept growing smaller and smaller still.

My size 5 gown was whittled down to a size 3. The fitter told me Always wear this corset (a merry widow) or your 19 inch waist will expand. She was correct and I certainly couldn’t wait to get that thing off. But on this day I was so elated and nervous too.

I was happy to dawn my beautiful sheath gown and handmade (designed by myself) veil. As the music swelled I loved being walked down the aisle by Jack my step-dad. It was a surreal experience I saw
