Re: Holmes - Adie's Syndrome
Sorry to hear that you are suffering. Micheala, you mentioned emotional stress. I've never heard that stress causes Adie's, but I'll bet it can make it feel worse. I've been reading about how it aggravates back pain so I'll add my two cents here.
Stress makes your muscles tighten involuntarily. And the tightness keeps blood from reaching tissues to help repair them, so whatever pain you have does not go away. So tension contributes to headache, back pain, etc.
Often we can't avoid stress. But we can help ourselves by taking time to relieve stress. Think about the things that help you relax or at least feel better and do some of them at least several times a day. This can be listening to upbeat music, taking a brisk walk, praying or meditating, doing yoga, getting a massage, enjoying a sauna or hot tub... whatever helps you personally. You deserve to feel better.
Also Micheala, you mention fibromyalgia. Have you read "From Fatigued to Fantastic" by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum. I borrowed a copy from the library and it has a good chapter on fibromyalgia.
Take care.
