Any therapists with Fibromyalgia?

[loki]

Hi, I am not a massage student yet, hope to be very soon.

I have been having fibromyalgia issues for som time now. Sometimes it isnt too bad. I have been wnating to get into the massage field for quite some time. I have been putting it off because I have been busy doing the "Mom" thing.
Are there any therapists out there that have Fibromyalgia? How have you handled this career?
My condition is another reason that has interested me in this field. I want to be able to help others like me.

I have many symptoms/chronic pain that can be linked to fibro or myofascial pain disorder, but have never had an official diagnosis.

I limit my daily work to what I can handle, get regular massage and chiropractic, workout, and try to keep my stress down. All things that make working as an MT much easier. You have to invest a bit in yourself to make it work, but it is worth it.

Best of luck to you.
