Re-Imagining Fibromyalgia
Abstract
The current scientific knowledge of Fibromyalgia is too focused on deficits. Therefore, the prognosis of Fibromyalgia is grim. This Commentary provides the lived experience of a person navigating the healing process with Fibromyalgia. With no remedy to fix the condition, those with the diagnosis must find better ways to live with it. This Commentary provides 4 helpful tips: 1) Utilize the research; 2) Get to a safe space; 3) Balance the mental and physical aspects, and; 4) Look for unexpected insights of the diagnosis. While this lived experience is not generalizable, it illustrates the need for dissemination of novel understandings of Fibromyalgia.
