I admire anyone who keeps in the workforce, i was not in the workforce when diagnosed, having a pre schooler, i have never re-entered the workforce and honestly i simply could not handle it, i find it enough just doing the housework and being a mother, so if you can hang onto your job, that is fantastic.

Yes well i would love those people who snigger behind your back or to your face to spend a day in our shoes, it is the pitts, being honest here,sometimes i wonder how we all keep going,it hurts so much.

Oneday i sure hope they do come up with a cure or at least something that will help the pain to be managed to a comfortable state.

Fibro is very disabling both emotionally and physically,and you do feel isolated,and depression is very common for anyone who is in constant pain, there are days i just feel like giving up,but i know there will be good days and i just wait for those to come and enjoy them to the fullest,i probably do overdo things when those days are here, but can you blame me lol.,gotta do stuff when the going is good as they say.


I wish you all the best, and yes i know what you are going through my dear,you have all the understanding and empathy right here,I am lucky my husband is reasonably good, and he certainly knows my pain is real,he is the only one who sees it daily, and right now he knows how much i am suffering, I do hope you have someone close and dear to you who can offer you some level of kindness and caring and understanding, but you know only those like ourselves really can understand, it is a very complex illness. More gentle hugs coming your way.
