I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about two years ago and it took my doctor at least 5 years before she referred me to this specialist. Seems he could tell i had it with checking 18 pressure points about the body. So I'm led on the table and every time he touched me I'm shouting "ouch ". Now you ladies out there will be saying,"stupid bloke,he wants to go through childbirth now that hurts". Mind you if i was the first pregnant man,i don't think i would be sitting here writing this. I would be in a millionaires mansion in the caribbean somewhere.

Anyway back to the topic in hand the diagnosis was clinched when i told the doc about my short term memory loss. So he then makes me an appointment to see a neurologist. Which turned into a nightmare cause they tried to give me an m.r.i scan, but I'm claustrophobic like millions of other people on this planet. So i gets into this infernal machine and as soon as the banging started i screamed,"get me out of this torture chamber" and instantly started having a panic attack.

So cause i couldn't do that the next stage was a memory test, now this thing took about two hours and it was driving me nuts. If i wasn't bonkers before i went in, Then i certainly was when i came out. The third option was this spinal tap thingy, Were they stick a needle in your spine and draw off some fluid to test. Now, after three attempt and a lot of pain ( don't you ladies start on me again ha!) they still could not get this needle in the right place. to tense they said and i thought no wonder it flipping well hurts. So, they give me some sort of loony juice to relax me, don't know what it was but i wouldn't mind some more. That over with and the test results were good no, Parkinson's disease or whatever, cause that's the only reason the doc sent me to see the neurologist.

Anyway going back to this fibro fog and the stupid things that happen to you,or is it just me. The worst thing is spectacles, you are thinking to yourself where did i put the things? and you are either still wearing them or they are straight in front of your eyes and you cant see them for the want of trying.I have a portable short wave radio and instead of putting the ear phones to my ears i tried to put the jack plug there instead. Not that it would have made any difference cause in my case its no sense no feeling. The best one i read about was this bloke thought he had lost his wallet. He eventually found the thing in his fridge.

So this is were we go to always laugh at yourself cause if you don't you will end up in the the loony bin.I was in the military for 22 years and we always used to say that if you cant take a joke then you should not have joined. So i hope this has brought a smile to fellow sufferers with fibromyalgia keep your chin up and just laugh it off.

Oh,i forgot to end on a lighter note. I was in the chemists the other week,getting some hemorrhoid cream and suppositories and the assistant asked me if i new what to do with them. So i says"yes i do" and he said" I'm only asking,because some bloke brought his back the other day saying that i cant eat these they taste horrible".
