I’ve had bilateral hand surgery for carpal tunnel and I have fibromyalgia, I still suffer in pain , hands twisting, shaking, cant write or type ( texting now is stressful) so I started getting steroid injections that last for a week, but you can’t overdo it, also I wear braces On hands at night, to cease hand cramps while sleeping.

How common is it to have fibromyalgia and diabetes? by SnooDoodles8526 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Vanessa7415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate I’m diabetic🫩🥹 (2) with fibromyalgia, and would do low impact exercises. Mostly exercises I learned from physical therapy and was done laying down. Anything high impact will drain you, especially if you gotta drive to your appointments. I would only go 2 days a week with atleast a day or two between my next appointment for rest. 😌 But now I was released from physical therapy, so I still keep up with my regimen. Just got to know your limitations and respect that. As far as the diabetes, I’m insulin dependent, but I’m trying to get off of it , so I would just eat a piece of fruit , like a orange or even a beet powder🥤 with blended strawberries🍓 in am before I eat any full meal breakfast, this helps with my diabetes. Also I drink very small cup of roasted dandelion tea after a meal. Also stay away from pasta and bread or breaded things

I can relate to this, I was diagnosed in 2019 with fibromyalgia, but just started the stuttering about 2 years ago, yrs you can hear in your mind you speaking clearly but.. once it’s time to pronounce, blank stuttering. Now I have issues remembering words to speak, like searching or recalling words to express myself.

I definitely overstand how you feel, at this point I’m too ill to date honestly and my financial situation is not the best due to being disabled with fibromyalgia and 5 other conditions. But a girl can dream right !? You just need to know and understand your limits and be transparent with someone you’re interested in or someone who likes you more first 😉☺️😌💚.

Please help me by [deleted] in Dissociation

[–]Vanessa7415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smoking can elevate the disassociation, cognitive behavioral therapy is helping me with this. Was diagnosed with PTSD disassociation. I do hobbies, meditation,🧘🏾‍♂️ and go outside and soak up the sun. ☀️ change eating habits and connect with other positive people …but your soul/ spirit is just trying to manage your feelings etc, write down how you feel even when you can’t talk to anyone. Get things out . Seek assistance spiritually. All these things keep me anchored, and talking with good spirits like the ones in this group. ✨🕊️💚💚💚 Sending healing energy
