carole; I'm so sorry to hear about all the pain and problems you have with FM. You're so right in saying that no one understands it. I already have my family and friends practically snickering when I mentioned it to them. It's not that they're being hateful but that they just don't know anything about it. I really wish they would take the time to research it like I have.

Good days and bad days is exactly the way it is. I'm having a pretty foggy day today and very low energy. I still try to work parttime but it's so hard. I can't stop thinking back to the way things used to be years ago. As you mentioned, everything is now an effort rather than routine or just for pleasure. It's an ordeal for me to just go grocery shopping some days. I've started buying in bulk(when I can go) to avoid extra trips when I know I may not feel like going. I have already learned to ask people to pick things up for me if they're going to a store. I've always been so independant but not any more.

Have you ever heard of the magnesium injections for this? I would like to find someone that's had these besides my friend that has it.

Best of luck to you. I hope we can find a cure for this one day.
