"Hi Chaszey, I too have fibromyalgia, for 14 years; it happened after the birth of my third child. I have a question that maybe you can help me with, my 15 year old daughter is experiencing the beginning stages of what I think it's fm, the sore knots in the shoulders and neck, back pain, fatigue, etc. Do you think she is to young for this horrible disease? Thanks so much." Anabel
Dear Anabel,
Thank you for writing! Fibromyalgia is not a disease in the traditional sense. Yes, the condition promotes strong feelings of dis-ease, but there are no blood tests that confirm one having or not having this condition. I dedicate and entire chapter of what I 'see' in people who have Fibromyalgia. In a nutshell it's body whose wires are crossed to the point where one function doesn't communicate with another function. Just like with Luga's story above, the reason the morphine injections don't work is because her body's wires are crossed and the body doesn't really know what to do with the morphine. In a regular person the brain tells the body to bring comfort and relaxation to one part of the body. However, with a person with Fibromyalgia none of these messages get through. That's why very often people take pain medication and suddenly they work like a pick-me-up drug keeping the person awake and yet the pain still doesn't leave.
Fibromyalgia in its purest sense is a body's nervous system thoroughly inflamed and confused to the point of shut down.No, I don't think that a 15 year old is too young to have the onset or even full blown Fibromyalgia. However, and this is a big however, make sure that other things like MS, Lupus, etc. are ruled out first.
Fibromyalgia comes from stress, not just stress from last year, but stress that was induced when we were children. Stress that went unchecked. Stress that was shoved under the rug because we're supposed to be super women. Even our children and teenagers are pressured to do all and be all. It's too much for our body to handle. And one event, such as an accident or in your case giving birth for the third time, shuts the body down completely.
Add to that the solar and planetary changes that are happening and it's no wonder that more and more people will come down with stress related conditions such as Fibromyalgia. But there is hope!
Be gentle with yourself. Be graceful to yourself and be loving with yourself. Let go of the unnecessary stress related pressures. Get back to nature and doing one thing at a time (rather than multi-tasking). Do everything with love, touch everything with love. Say everything with love (or don't say it at all). :-) Work less, play more. Laugh a lot, show kindness a lot!
Keep me posted on your progress, dear Anabel, and let me know how the book is going for you.
Sending you loving rays of warm sunlight,
