I got told I had fibromyalgia by my doctor and read the forums, and hated what I read. Some doctors say it's made up disease and most mentally ill people and x-addicts suffer from it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastebasket_diagnosis . After my doctor labeled me fm, she basically stopped searching for any issues., she sent me to a counselor and a therapist who then told me I might have cfs. which is another wastebasket diagnosis. They prescribed me some bullshit hydroxyzine for sleep and suggested I come back weekly for sessions... like fucking lol, they were just trying to milk me for all the money they could. While I sat in poverty and my life wasnt getting better. So I decided to say fuck it and get prework out supplements and force myself to try pushing through and exercising.

I started with small weights and walking , and oh did it fucking hurt. I literally came home and fell asleep after work outs, threw up sometimes. but It all made me feel stronger and happier. The last years I turned into skinny fat and I had so much pain in my knees, I became lazy and didn't exercise at all. Come to find out, the more a person sits around the more painful and weak you become. Your body will break down bones you don't really use.. My knees literally hurt 24/7, the excess energy I had every night caused me to have terrible sleep, which leads to another bad day, and it just becomes a shit cycle. Which also fueled a huge depression.

Right now I am able to exercise everyday but I need to take 200mg ibuprofen 2 times a day for my knee pains and use caffiene or coffee to get going, also I use marijuana which helps me stay goal oriented and kind of see past my own bullshit sometimes. Idk about this cfs shit, and I feel symptoms like I am super sensitive to drugs and react differently to stress. but Idk if I have cfs or even if it's actually real... please don't hate me for saying this.
