My husband is getting very angry, frustrated, and lately says he is at the end of his rope because I struggle to work full time. (Even though Ive always had $ to contribute, but because I didnt work for it, it didnt count) . Now I ve held a casual/on-call job since October, which is the most employment I have had in 4 years! He no longer believes fibromyalgia is real and says I am lazy and lying. In the beginning he was my biggest supporter...Can anyone relate?
Sorry to hear that your biggest supporter seems to be treating you this way.
My family was very similar in the way I was being treated, so I kinda understand.
I am sure none of us would just give up our livelihood and live in this dark gloom just because...
Not everything is visible in life but we know it exists, so why not fibro? Not everything is all identified and understood in western medicine. One medical study showed inflammation in a fibro woman nerve endings located in her hand. It was thought that nerves didn't have a inflammatory component. I mention this to say that we are learning new things every day. So I am stumped as why your husband thinks this is all fakery.
I really hope that your husband can learn more about this disease and maybe give him some reading material.
. It really makes me sad to see how much emotional pain we have to endure when we are just trying to cope. I really hope he can be more supportive of you.
Hugs

Why do you not take these people who do notthink it is real along to your next doctors appointment and let the doctor explain that it is very real if they are still unsympathetic then as Dayna said I would get rid of them they do not love or respect you the way they should.Wishing better days to you all.
Yes fibro has affected my marriage in the fact that my husband lacks his sidekick playmate. He feels isolated because I can’t do the things we use to do socially or otherwise. Very difficult to make plans with others and even withfamily I have found that people start to shy away from you once you start to cancel plans I don’t think they really understand the havoc this disease can play with all aspects of your life. It is sad to say that old attige about fair weather friends
