I would say about nine years ago, nine or ten years ago, I was having a lot of issues like with pain and I was tired all the time.

So I made an appointment to see a neurologist and I told them what was going on.

I was like, listen, I'm like, my energy level is so low.

Like, I'm always tired. My brain feels fuzzy and my body always hurts. So he goes to do an exam and, like,

really quickly was like, okay, so you have fibromyalgia. Like, all your tender points are lighting up.

And I was like, first of all, you don't know me like that. Don't tell me about myself, even though this is what I'm paying

for and this is why I came. So, so anyway, he was like, well, yes, Imani, you have fibromyalgia.

And fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disorder. It's a chronic condition. Essentially, it means that the nerves in my body

are sending off pain signals to my brain for no reason. So I was really kind of shocked because

I think that if I really take a hard look, I started to feel body aches and pain when I was in my second

year of medical school. I remember my back just hurting like real, real bad. And I couldn't seem

to get comfortable. I couldn't seem to stretch it properly. I never really ever considered

that I had fibromyalgia. When I got diagnosed, I was happy and grateful that I wouldn't have to go from doctor to doctor

trying to convince someone that something was wrong with me.

It really kind of opens up my eyes to just ways I had to take better care of myself.

And it was a relief to know that I wasn't imagining things.

I just want to drop it hello.

Taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies.

But how do you even start that journey?
