thank you, everyone, for all your wonderful, supportive comments! it sure does mean a great deal! :) I'm two weeks away from delivering my second child, so I'm counting down the daystto start medication again! that will also help tremendously!

My own sister told me that my fibromyalgia is in my head. Lol..I wish it was..maybe then I could take something that would cure it. It is not on your head. Nobody understands the fatigue that comes with this. It is not your run of the mill tiredness, and for me it is in the backgroud no matter what I do

Praying for you sweetheart, those that we love, unless they experience this themselves, have very little idea what we deal with or how we suffer. The way I handle the nay sayers is with a little chant I say to myself to help my confidence and self esteem. "I know I am strong, I know I am able, I Know KNOW this is not in my head." It helps me slap a smile on my face and trudge forward; you may also try visualization, like when you are sidelined what you do to make yourself feel better, or visualizing your best day, and then visualizing a lot of best days. Take Care Dear Friend, this is the most supportive place you will find not only for Fibro, but for any support needed.Blessings

People think they know what you mean when you say you are fatigued but this is based on their own feelings of healthy tiredness which in no way equates with the excruciating feeling of your body at the stage where you either ly down or fall down and the pain and at times numbness that accompany this your husband like others can't understand this pick a time when you thimk you can talk to him without crying be strong and try to explain how youfeel physically and that no one is to blame good luck take care of you x

I think because it is so misunderstood disease.. No test to prove it. But if you look at your history you p probably had a symptom or two. When mine flared it was soon after surgery. Coincidence or did the surgery flare it. There is not enough evidence either way. I can tell you it effects so much of my life. I have been a stay at home mom for 21 yrs. So I can't get financial help. So I feel like a burden on hubby. It causes slot of stress. I've cried many tears. You younger folks I don't know how you start a family. Hats off to you. Jamie maybe a t therapist could help you.
