My fibro and chronic fatigue is having a hissy fit at the moment. Because I am stressing about Christmas. Most of my in laws think I am faking it and tease me for being tired. I know spending a whole day with a loud group is going to kill me afterwards. How can I politely explain to them that fibro and chronic fatigue is a real illness.
My hubby sent a very long email. They have been educated and they actually feel sorry for me and did not realise how serious it was. So all good.
i could not find that article on line from Dr Murphy but if you live in Yuma i would be glad to meet to give you a copy, i run a support group
I thought maybe if I get too much of an attitude from a certain family member, I can always leave.
If it was me (and I have an evil streak in me) is print off the best article /Facebook slogan that sums up what's going on with YOU and put it in their xmas cards :) glue it so it can't be lost or torn out and see how they react to that? Anger is normally the first response but as it sits there curiosity gets the better of everyone and you may find they know what's happening whether they believe it or not that I can't help but as I said I have an evil streak to me :) x
with family it hard but don't stress it will make you worst . i have learned to enjoy myself do what i can rest when i need to
