I'm not exactly sure when the Fibromyalgia developed. I know when it got WORSE...but thinking back, I always had aches and pains in my fingers and toes that other people didn't seem to get. I was very active in sports when I was younger, and I just thought everybody had those aches. Over the years I've had weird things happen, like rolling over in bed and pulling a muscle really bad from that (who gets a muscle pull from rolling over in bed?!?) Nutty kinds of stuff...
A few years ago, I had the flu, and since I tend to have a pretty low body temperature, I had a theory that my low body temperature is why I was always sick with things longer than anyone else. So I decided I would just try to drink a lot of fluids but let my 104 fever "ride." What ended up happening was that I was sitting on the toilet and I felt really strange and the next thing I knew, I was looking at the shower drain. I had fainted on the toilet and tipped over into the bathtub!
Luckily the tub broke my fall so I didn't hit my head (that I realize). I did bruise my upper arm. So I've had a theory that the high temp and possibly something with my neck could have set off the worse symptoms.
But I don't know, it's all a mystery. But nobody else in my family seems to have my issues. My father used to have sciatica in his neck, but that was when he was elderly.
