Yes, Sheila, this is an uplifting article.
Thanks for posting its link.
Great article Sheila, makes me think about the connections I make and the opportunities I miss.
Things I think would make life a bit easier, Doctors who would stop treating people in genuine pain feel like abusers and are quiet willing to provide copious amounts of anti-depressents and you ask for pain relief and it changes thiere whole perception of you. People giving you a hard time for parking in disabled zones even when your permit is clearly visible Just to be accepted and believed People telling you to get out of bed have a shower and you will feel a lot better I'm not depressed and I'm in pain and I HAVE NO ENERGY TO DO IT and believe me. People thinking your depressed when your in pain it's easer to accept your crszy instead of just being in bad pain when will will this be accepted as pain syndrome and treat the pain you would have a serious decline in depression it shows you no mercy, even doctors, friends, and family can treat you worse then strangers have a whinge Jeannie
This was a very good article Sheila my daughter and I try and go out to lunch at least once a month and often one of her friends will join us I try and go with her once a week to pick up the grandkids from daycare just to get out of the house.
This was a really great article!! Thank you!
Thanks for posting this Sheila, it's good, I'm gonna try to do more of those things. :') Sometimes I forget.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
I understand Jeannie.
I have a photo somewhere, I think on my page that says PAIN CHANGES YOU! We are all aware of that and how it changes our whole personality and way of thinking and functioning. The older Drs don't recognize it at all, and don't seem to want to keep updated on the new scientific research, but the newer doctors are being taught in medical school that this is a chronic pain syndrome that affects the pain receptors in the brain and makes every pain we feel, 5x stronger than other people would feel it. I think the social part of Fibro is harder than the physical part. If we could say we have MS or something more well known, we would be treated much differently by everyone. I was actually grateful when I got other diagnoses on top of Fibro, because doctors and neighbors, family, etc. are more understanding of lupus, diabetes, heart damage, etc etc etc than they are of Fibro.
