Fibro/ME is not for whimps...

[Dizzytwo]

Sometimes I think we don't give ourselves enough credit for just how strong we are. Dealing with Fibro/ME is not for whimps.

To deal with any kind of chronic illness takes strength and fortitude IMO But dealing with an invisible illness takes a special kind of person. Please don't ever doubt your strength and courage you have it in abundance xx

I so agree with tht, but some days r a proper struggle, like me today I was meant to be in college today but my tutor sent me home as soon as I got there, in so much pain

[Dizzytwo in reply to Tiny09]

Hi Tiny, we all have days where we like utter tripe. But your strength comes from the fact at least you are trying and I am sure you will keep on trying. I think you should give yourself a great big gentle pat on the back. At least you made the effort to get to collage well done you 👏👏👏

I hope you will soon be recovered enough to get back to your studies. Rest up today and be kind to yourself 🤗🤗

I seem to be having more bad days than gud, but I've gotta carry on still got a child to raise, I dnt even know how am doing it all on my own

[Dizzytwo in reply to Tiny09]

I understand, I raised 2 kid under the age of 2 when I just started with this illness. Both in their 40s now. I sometimes look back and wonder how I did it abd held down two part time jobs.

Sometimes I think I feel greatful I got the illness when I was in my twenties. Because If I had just been diagnosed now at 63 I'm not sure I would be able to cope. But maybe that's just with hindsight xx

Sometimes feels lyk am a let down to my son as I carnt do the things he wants me 2 do, I do try my upmost to do it

[Dizzytwo in reply to Tiny09]

Hi Tiny, I'm sure we all understand. It is difficult when you have children. How old is your son may I ask?

[Tiny09 in reply to Dizzytwo]

He's 10 but am sort of lucky as he will help as much as he can around the house but nt alot he can actually do. But he tries

[Dizzytwo in reply to Tiny09]

Awww he sounds like a Treasure. Kids I found are more resilient than we give them credit for sometimes. I actually found my kids were more understanding and stronger than I was on my bad days. Xx

To have pain 24/7 you have to be extremely strong and resilient just like we all are Mo Love & Hugs Xx

[Dizzytwo in reply to Mackembabe]

[Mackembabe in reply to Dizzytwo]
