I am lucky in a way because my husband attended the class that was offered for fibromyalgia patients and he understands well. Plus both of my kids did a 4H project for the fair last year on Fibromyalgia and learned by researching the internet. One of the things I did was find the spoon theory story online and I printed it off and taped it onto my cubicle at work. Some of my co-workers read it. I also went onto Pinterest and found a whole bunch of info on Fibro and print them off. I post it all over the place at home, work etc. and people come to realization of what Fibromyalgia is.

hi
I know what you mean people don't understand it ,I have people at work that say they have it and wear high heels and I know I can wear them any more .

I just recently learned about this myself. I googled it. I sent it to my son. He has always given me a hard time,and seems to NOT understand.

I learned another tip that we could use to explain to people is use pennies as a way to explain each step of the day.
