thank you so much!
i often feel the same way. while u wouldnt wish this on anyone there r those people who we would want to walk in our shoes if only for a day. i often wish some could walk in my shoes for a week then see what they have to say. but i guess we just have to b thankful for friends who do understand. i feel so bad that u have had to deal with all those comments. i hope those around will begin to understand that u r not lying about what u r going through and thats it all very real.
so true, so true..experienced that in many ways the last two weeks. two family members called me lazy and told me i "lay around" to much. had my parenting bashed. i just try to think about the family who support me, the co-workers who support me. i have hope for the new specialist i see in a month. there is always hope, always something positive to think about. always someone worse off then you. hope things get better for you. i try to tell help others, it helps me feel better to know we are all in this life together.
im sorry you have to deal with people like that, if they dont care about you enough to make rude remarks they arent worth your concern or worry.
i wish you all the luck in the world with your new specialist.
thank you so much

Hi SK, I sat my husband down and asked him to listen while I read this to him. I cried as I read it and had to pause a few times to regain my composure, but I finally got through it and then said to him, "this is how I feel, I don't choose to feel like it, I don't want to feel like it and I certainly wish I didn't have fibromyalgia, but here it is and I can't explain it any clearer than she can." He actually said thank you. It is so incredibly frustrating and difficult and there are a lot of people - family, friends and strangers - who will not, cannot, or who just choose not to, understand, but at least we have support and understanding from each other on here and perhaps that's a start. x
thats amazing
