Communicate Your Symptoms<br />

I’ll even tell my patients, ‘Listen, when you go to ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

doctor, like a specialist, you just write <strong>and</strong> rewrite until you<br />

can say what you need to say in three sentences. Because<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rwise you’re going to lose that doctor. <strong>The</strong>y’re going to<br />

think you’re weird.’ I know, I am one. I had to learn to talk<br />

<strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong>y do.<br />

Benevolence<br />

<strong>The</strong> idealist is also invested in benevolence. So if we talk<br />

about people who are coming from idealism <strong>and</strong> spirituality,<br />

we’re talking about <strong>the</strong>ir experience <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> culture <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

world that we’re in, <strong>and</strong> multiple layers <strong>of</strong> potential emotional<br />

difficulty <strong>and</strong> struggling. We’re talking about a sensory<br />

processing sensitivity. We are talking about a person who<br />

might get subjected to trauma just trying to live a normal life<br />

on planet Earth.<br />

Temperament<br />

So I believe that most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> people who get fibromyalgia<br />

have this substrate <strong>of</strong> temperament. And <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>y get sick.<br />

I think it reflects, <strong>and</strong> maybe we’ll prove it one day with<br />

functional MRI studies, a brain that is more sensitive to stress<br />

<strong>and</strong> trauma, <strong>and</strong> more sensitive to getting into amplification<br />

mode after repeated stress <strong>and</strong> trauma.<br />

We must honor<br />

<strong>the</strong> sensitive temperament<br />
