I just found this page, and feel like I just found friends.... I have lived with fibro since the 80's and no one understands what i feel liike. Even though they love me, and they try, they just don't get this...and now I am meeting people that do! You all are describing symptoms that I have lived with for years - the being clumsy, the easy bruising, the dry throats, the constant headaches, the never-ending pain, the being off-balance, the feeling that you don't know who to ask about this stuff or that if you do, they won't understand....Bless you all for just being here~~

Yes, sometimes we just get off balance. I sometimes wake with a bruise and wonder (Where did I get that from?) :)

I can't believe I just read that, this happens to me all the time. Each time I come on this page I hear something else that resonates with me. Thank goodness I am not going crazy

I bump into things all the time has bruises all the time. It's become a running joke at work about me spilling things or dropping things. Is someone else drop something or spill something they say,"I pulled a Pam". They're not trying to be mean it's just that I don't think they understand I don't mean to do it and the bruises hurt. I will drop things easily

Hahaha yes! My legs are covered on bruises
