IT Caught up with me today; Fibromyalgia Cycle and Season Changes

FM Pain would blow your mind if you were not a sufferer of it and was all of a sudden given it as a gift to try for a while. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain ain’t no joke. I have had it for many years, 20+.

      Nineteen major surgeries to date; here I am caught in the mix of a 4 times a year, season change.  Each one has its own bite. The season changing to Winter (Cold) is the worst for me and then Summer (Heat). I love Spring and Fall on most days except for the first 2-3. Season Changes are rough on FM sufferers.

Today, is the third day in a row my body has been giving me fits with growing velocity as the climate changes; I am really feeling IT, aka FM. 

It appears that we have skipped over having a full spring and going right into Summer conditions. 

How do I know, my body tells me so.  The graphic above highlights the bigger picture of the cycle of a person who has FM; without the gory details of daily aches, pain, limitations, and humiliates.    Be Encouraged, there are better days ahead and you know it; you gotta make sure you are ready to catch the wave of short, intermittent, increased levels of  ability when those days come. 

Contrary to popular belief while it isn’t all in our head, it very well comes from the core of our brain. The problem and the solution from the same place, imagine that.  Not from the same regions of the cortex of course, but in the same space.

We have the problem stemming from the central nervous system wearing us down mentally and physically. YET, we have the power of mind over matter through prayer and belief that each new day may be one less pain to bear coming from another area of the brain.

“You have everything you need to succeed, deep down inside of you; just dig a little deeper”          E.M. Lee (2011) 

There are day’s that your mind, body, and spirit just need to rest and replenish. If you beat your body up too badly, you may cause it to trigger a major FM attack and be down for longer had you taken the the time to be ready for season change. My advice, be prepared. Even doctors have stated in many recent articles that they are noticing a drastic increase in their Fibro patients coming in for office visits during this year.  Especially at key markers, season changes.  Specifically, here in Ohio, our recent guest for our Fibromyalgia Awareness month on my Exceptions To The Rules Radio Show this May, Dr. Hackshaw said we are affected by Ohio’s barometric pressure.  Be sure to tune in the rest of the month for our shows helping FM and Chronic Pain Sufferers.

For now, again I tell you, be encouraged, I myself am having one of those days that I have to say to Ms. FM, “so we fight another day”.  But today,, I am going to move through the pain,, by: Getting Over IT,, off to my water class; I go whether I like it or not.  ON Tuesday’s I practice my own class to prepare for when I get a sponsor for certification.

Columbus, OH (May 3rd, 2013)—  Council Member Tyson will be sponsoring a resolution recognizing May 12^th as National Fibromyalgia  Awareness Day. On Monday May 6^th, at Columbus City Hall in downtown Columbus, Ohio beginning at 5PM; Dr. Kevin Hackshaw and E. Michelle Lee, Radio Show host of the Exceptions To The Rules Radio Show on TalktainmentRadio and a sufferer of FMS will accept the proclamation on behalf of the National Fibromyalgia Association, Ohio State University’s Kevin Hackshaw, M.D. Associate Professor of Medicine, Fellowship Director, Rheumatology; The Ohio State University College of Medicine, the Exceptions To The Rules, and other groups around our country who have joined together to promote fibromyalgia awareness and support—including improved education, diagnosis, research, and treatment.

Lee, has designed the “Exceptions- Get Over IT Challenge” and is using her local and national platform to help educate, motivate, and provide resources including but not limited to diet, exercise, and HOPE Motivation for FMS and Chronic Pain Sufferers; especially entrepreneurs and small business owners who do not have health care insurance like herself. 

She will travel throughout the city, state, and country to disseminate FMS education and attend public awareness events.  This “Get Over IT Challenge”, program,  will provide guidance from medical professionals, nutritionist, exercise- certified and/or degreed trainers, and tons of motivational methods needed to withstand the effects and side-effects of FMS. Lee said, “This program and many others rely upon our ability to promote awareness having such credentials as a recognized day City Wide, State Wide, and Nationwide”. She plans to approach the House and Senate of Ohio next.

Ms. Lee has been a sufferer of FMS for more than twenty years and has sustained nearly 20 major surgeries due in part to FMS and its associated ailments.  As a trained researcher she has compiled years of recorded journaling, enlisted the support of OSU’s Dr. Kevin Hackshaw, National Fibromyalgia Association, National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association, Victory Fitness Centers, and a multitude of local and national business owners who suffer from FMS and/or have a product or service that may help ease the pain of FMS so that we can be more productive citizens at home, work, and play by learning how to cope with FMS and chronic pain.

E Michelle Lee quotes, “If you knew how dark my world was, you would wonder how I shine so brightly.” (2011 E.M. Lee)

When confirmed to receive this Proclamation for FMS , Ms Lee quoted the mission of the NFA and gave a call to action,

 “We must strive to continually make health practitioners aware of our plight. It is only with this recognition that we will be successful in securing research funds to pinpoint the causes of fibromyalgia, and start toward finding a cure.  Lee encourages sufferers and families with those who suffer to get involved.

Give Back 2 Pay Forward, just do what you can. Contact US ASAP- Come to Columbus City Hall this Monday at 4:30 PM and Stand With Us to say THANK YOU to: Council Member Tyson and Columbus City Council for this breakthrough for our Fibromyalgia Community!

Lee, shares that many who are effected by FMS may not know what to do or where to turn for help.  FMS carries a high risk percentage of those who commit suicide when they can’t get help for the pain.
