Thought I'd update this and make it shorter: I was rear-ended at 70 mph (I was at a stop on the freeway in traffic). That is what caused my Post-Traumatic Fibromyalgia. It has also left me with chronic low back pain like sharp shooting, stabbing pain. I have L5-S1 Radiculopathy, too, from it.
I used to do body-building and lift weights, etc., but can't do that anymore. I am now a stay at home mom to a 16 yr. old daughter in the 11th grade. My 25 yr old daughter is in the Air Force. I've been married for 16 yrs and live w/my husband and daughter and our spoiled Chihuahua-mix dog and 2 cats.
