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 />
