I walked into that consultation full of hope.
I told them the truth:
I told them the truth:
- That I live with fibromyalgia.
- That my pain disappeared completely during pregnancy.
- That it returned two months after birth.
- That my pain worsens every single time I’m on my period.
I connected the dots. I laid out my experience. I told them I believed progesterone was a
missing link.
They looked at me like I was making it up.
“We don’t use progesterone to treat leg pain.”
“There’s no medical evidence to support that.”
“It’s just how fibromyalgia is — you’ll have to manage it.”
No tests. No hormone panel. No curiosity. Just rejection.
They offered me more painkillers. More pills that fog the mind.
But I didn’t want fog — I wanted clarity.
I didn’t want suppression — I wanted healing.
They said no. But my body had already said yes.
Yes to the fact that pregnancy healed me.
Yes to the truth I lived, even if the system wouldn’t validate it.
So I started FibroVoice — because how many other women have been told “no” after
sharing their truth?
We are not crazy. We are not imagining things.
We are not liars — we are leaders.
