@melclarity wow I think you are a pretty amazing woman! That's a lot of stress to go through and one thing after another. I was working as an Education Assistant when I got my fibromyalgia. It was supposed to be my dream job (I also do Special Needs) after retraining from teaching high school ... too stressful. I thought I'd be in this job till retirement but it was horribly stressful - never had a prob hanging up my teaching hat before and working 'under' a teacher...but this one was a passive aggressive nightmare lol. It was amazing how when I gave up the job the fibro slowly ceased. Rarely get it now so hoping the chemo doesn't bring it on. No good when you feel pain even in your little toes. I'd give the acupuncture a go for the plantar f. ... but choose a qualified person, not one of those supermarket drop ins. I don't think you're in Perth or I could pm you mine and another good place. Blab anytime, I enjoy reading your posts! xx
