We’re in pain, we can’t handle much❤️‍🩹

Thanks Christina, such wonderful comments like yours helps me to keep perspective. This illness makes one very vulnerable. Take care.

Christina your over reacting. Do these comments trigger feelings from the past. Perhaps parents who set unrealistic goals. Think about who you are, what you like about yourself. How do the positive people around you view you. Once you form a positive opinion of yourself hold onto this and tell the negative people to f——k off. If your struggling to feel positive about yourself perhaps some counselling. My mother did not relate particularly well to my lovely children. But spoke about other people’s children. I did not like this and I was disappointed, but I had to put this down to her. You support many on this site, make the effort to participate, I think your okay. Take care.

Yes, this happened to me recently. For me it was going to er with hubby. The triage nurse said,well…you know…meaning that he is 85. This happens a lot when I am dealing with medical system. It really upsets because my hubby has just as much right for help as anyone else. Certainly ceases me up…

Then with home care, I asked for help with meals saying I have cf, fm. And that person said that they are to help hubby not me. I am like what is going on…..

I asked the doctor what to do to get hubby help, he said to tell them he has been incubated twice. That is icu with tube down the throat. So I will see if this helps out

And then I hope I am not overly sensitive or is it fm….
A great posting, thanks

I’m glad to hear others experience this. Not glad that you do, but to know it does happen. I don’t know anyone personally who has fibromyalgia to commiserate with! So it helps to know I’m not just going crazy sometimes. I’ve seen a therapist a handful of times. Sometimes it has helped just to talk out loud but she’s so much younger than me. Like my daughters age. I didn’t find that she has been able to provide any real help. Just not a good fit. Anyway…. So I just search the internet for advice and this site helps! There’s always people who are insensitive and I just have no tolerance for that anymore. Too much going on in our bodies already. Fibromyalgia is such a strange disease! I really appreciate everyone sharing your thoughts and experiences!
