<\/p>\n

My name is Trisha Jamieson I'm 33 years old and this is my pain story. On October 5th, 2022 my doctor sent me to see a rheumatologist to get my fibromyalgia diagnosis. After this I got to work doing my own research. On the up side my life was about to get a whole lot more interesting. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just after Covid started I got a job at a cannabis store. Shortly after starting I shocked my back and couldn't move my shoulders for 2 months. This amount of pain gave me a significant amount of brain fog and I ended up losing my job. This made me realize that something wasn't right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After that I found another job, shortly after I found out I had sciatica. The job didn't last long. Time off gave me more time to focus on my mental health. I did all the things that helped like reading more books, studying Buddhism, meditating and spending time with my dogs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Getting diagnosed answered a lot of questions as a person who often experiences unexplained bouts of pain - it was validating. Knowing gave me something to focus on researching. I got to work scrolling through the internet, reading books and listening to podcasts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Le chemin \u00e0 parcourir s'annon\u00e7ait difficile, alors j'ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 chercher de l'aide. Ayant des ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents de d\u00e9pression et d'anxi\u00e9t\u00e9, j'ai cherch\u00e9 un th\u00e9rapeute et j'en ai trouv\u00e9 un gratuitement gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 mon m\u00e9decin. Je la vois encore une fois par mois et je participe chaque semaine \u00e0 des s\u00e9ances de th\u00e9rapie comportementale dialectique (TCD), qui m'ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s utiles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Puis je suis tomb\u00e9e sur le podcast Fibromyalgie anim\u00e9 par Tami Stacklehouse<\/a>. J'ai d\u00e9couvert qu'elle avait une \u00e9quipe de coachs fibromyalgiques et l'inscription a \u00e9t\u00e9 assez facile, alors je l'ai fait. Quelques semaines plus tard, j'ai eu mon premier rendez-vous avec Gisele McDiarmid, une femme vraiment formidable. Elle m'a motiv\u00e9e \u00e0 ne jamais perdre espoir et continue de m'aider aujourd'hui. Lui parler me fait toujours du bien.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Living with fibromyalgia is hard but as Glennon Doyle says \"We can do hard things.\" If life is easy what do you learn? Not much. When life is hard you learn more. In a weird way I prefer this path because I want to grow. I highly recommend affirmation cards or gratitude practice as these things have helped me stay positive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ai-je eu des moments o\u00f9 j'ai voulu abandonner ? Oui, mais ce sentiment s'estompe toujours. Je sais qu'il y a des gens en r\u00e9mission et cela me motive \u00e0 pers\u00e9v\u00e9rer. Deux ans d'isolement m'ont fait prendre conscience de l'importance de la communaut\u00e9. J'ai donc cr\u00e9\u00e9 un groupe de soutien pour la fibromyalgie et rejoint le comit\u00e9 d'\u00e9ducation de l'Association canadienne de la fibromyalgie (ACF).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Les humains et les femmes sont incroyablement r\u00e9silients. Des millions de personnes dans le monde souffrent chaque jour. Nous ne sommes pas seuls et nous pouvons nous entraider. Soyez forts, guerriers ! Si j'ai pu vivre et trouver la joie dans l'obscurit\u00e9, vous aussi.<\/p>\n
