Im 19
I have Tourettes, anxiety and depression. After 6+ years of sickness and pain I have finally been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. now every problem I have all makes sense and it makes me so happy that they found something, everyone who said the pain is in my head is now proven wrong, but at the same time im sad. im 19, I have no energy, im tired, im sore everywhere among so much else
this isn't usually diagnosed until average age 45, It developed young and only 3-6% of the world have it
I don't feel so trapped anymore as for ages it was an ongoing circle of all pain and sick and no results (fibro doesn't show on any test) and now I know, but I feel kinda more alone and still stuck for an answer as to what I can do. im working with a team to help manage my symptoms but it'll never be cured, there is no cure and every day will bring some degree of pain. My partner is lovely and mum is helpful, but they just don't all understand. on the outside I look happy to them as I found something, but in reality im scared because I know what can happen and know I will never have it quite as easy as others, I get told just not to think about it but obviously its not just that easy
I don't know, I just feel stuck but in a different way
