Time.
Explaining a little at a time.
Speak in bulletts, not paragraphs.
Re-explain
Ask for help more often. Explain why.

My husband is wonderful as well,we have been dealing with this for years.i think sometimes he does get frustrated,he try's to be encouraging and get me motivated...but he will never be able to understand the depth of this disease the struggle of the daily pain,I just have to keep reminding him of why I can't do or can't be the way I used to be

If he's like me he may not say but understands. My wife always reminds me too. I only recently started reading info on these type of sites.

My husband ,while not really understanding the fibro part of my life he does see the path of destruction it leaves so he tries to help,I am an avid gardener and I said I didn't want one this year but he tilled up my garden and flower beds brought me to get plants and did the digging and I placed the plants in the ground and did my thing when I was done he came behind me and lifted me back to my feet and helped me move on...I felt such pain afterward but also a great sense of peace and accomplishment,so he pushes me forward but always lifts me up...I am blessed to have him

This is a great question. I, however, am dealing with someone whom has little patience or understanding for weakness. It makes feeling better emotionally much harder then turns to stress then pain. It parts us in many ways. It would be good to get tips on how to explain my invisible pain.
