Myofascial Syndrome

One of the reasons I write about myofascial syndrome so much is that it is such an orphan syndrome. It is the Rodney Dangerfield of the chronic pain syndromes. Not written about as exhaustively as fibromyalgia or arthritis, it is just as difficult to deal with. Perhaps more, because it is underrated by fellow pain sufferers as a garbage pail diagnosis. I went through three neurologists, one brain surgeon, and the Johns Hopkins neurology department before finding my neuro-ophthalmologist who diagnosed what I had. It doesn't seem to matter to fibro folks that President John F. Kennedy had myofascial syndrome. We just don't get no respect. So I write to explain what I go through hoping to help others who are searching for what the heck is making them hurt so much. Raising awareness as well as writing to heal myself.

Cellular pain

I have chronic pain from myofascial. Recently though I have been getting help dealing with it from lots of people. The thing I am realizing is that bodies hold pain by habit. Habit. From the way I hold myself that causes pain to the way I deal with it by freezing up more. It comes down to darn near the cellular level. Habit.
