I definitely would have to sat that my husband has become a source of hope, support, and above all......understanding. This is a disease that, unfortunately, doesn't just create problems in your body but can profoundly change the way you can conduct relationships of any kind. Few people are equipped, much less truly empathetic enough, to understand how your life is changed, how you are changed. Family judges, freinds fall away, but the people who are still there after all that.....THOSE are the only ones that matter. I am proud, grafteful, and lucky to be able to say my youngest daughter has grown into an incredibly compassionate and strong young woman who, because of what she's seen me go through, has pursued a career in the medical/helping professions (and she's doing great work). When she told me that.....it was the first time I coukd see something good coming out of my experiences. She's almost 22 now so she has seen a LOT of the hell ive gone through....but because of those terrible times... she's out there DOING what it takes to get help, hope, and care to those in need of it. She's someone who has grown into a source of support that I ferl blessed to have as well.

My biggest supporter has been my mom. She also has Fibro although not as bad as me. Shes 90 and cant really help other then kind words but that helps alot. My husband is no support and my friends very little. They dont get it. I wish I cold give them all the pain for 1 day. Then they would know. Ive battled this Fibro shit over 20 some years. Ive had about enough Pain in my life!!!!

My husband has been by greatest supporter. He understands and is always there. On days when I say I can't do anything, he is the one who says, You ate today, you got out of bed and are now on the couch, see, you did things. He recognizes even the smallest things and lets me know. My kids are also supportive, my daughter lives nearby and makes sure I make my appointments and has let the doctor know when she feels he needs to be told a thing or two. My son, also supports. He is married to a gilr who has cystic fibrosis and is very understanding and supportie of her. He has learnt about illness through me. I can not be more appreciative of all they do for me.

my husband, he has stood beside me since i began having problems, he has supported me, my daughter & 5 grandchildren on a farmers pay & has never complained! we were high school sweethearts, split up for 20 yrs, reunited & have been married 10 yrs he is my first love, my soul mate & i his

I'd have to say my boyfriend, Jamie. He is always trying his best to be helpful, accompanies me to as many appointments as possible, encourages me to do what's best and so much more. he is quite an amazing man and I don't know where I would be without him.
