| Re: Accidents
Hi, I have been in four car accidents, one when I was 17 years old, again when I was 26, and another one in 1992 and in 1996. I was diagnosed in 1988 with fibromyalgia. The first accident my head hit the top of the car when it bounced over a crossroad and ended up facing the way we came. My back and neck hurt the most. In the second one I was again a passenger and my car was hit on my side and my neck was popped to the left, the car was smashed inwards towards me. Then I was rear ended from behind and I had a neck whiplash and wore a collar for months. The last one, the driver hit a utility pole, I was again a passenger. My face hit the dash and I had neck injuries again and my teeth were chipped, I had two black eyes, and a cut lip. I looked awful and couldn't work for several weeks because my face looked so bad. Needless to say all of the accidents has caused terrible neck and shoulder and back problems. Also, I have fallen on my tail bone several times in the past. x-rays show it is bent inwards but never broken. So did the accidents cause fibro? It still hasn't been proven, but in my opinion this is secondary to the accidents but not the whole cause. MistyMisty
