Hi,

yes, both my sister and I have Fibromyalgia and TMJ.

Depression does make the pain worse. It's one of my problems.

Hugs

Bwaite:

I think everyone here can relate to your situation. I, myself, wonder why get out of bed? For what? Everything hurts, no one seems to get it, and even seasoned professionals who spend over 100,000 to become a dr. just do not get it. Being told by family it is all in your head..get up and go to work or u just don't want to work. I have NEVER been on EI for more than 3 mos in my entire life and I am not afraid of hard work, I just cannot do anything anymore without pain. Ppl on here do not judge, or say it's all in your head and hopefully you will get the support you need on here. I am new and this is just my second post so.... Take care and stay strong

Ur so right Bwaite. Unity in numbers I'd say. I do hope your brother does get the diagnosis he needs altho' it can be a long haul. He has good family support and lots of ppl here that will validate not discount what he and you re going thru

Hi bwaite

I do not have a family member with fibro Myofacia nuerpothy. However, I want to wish you and your brother all the best, and I genuinely hope that he can get a diagnosis and all the help that he clearly needs and deserves.

All my hopes and dreams for you both

My daughter has it and I think my mum's many problems are down to fibromyalgia.

How old is your daughter? If she's a youngster it must make it difficult. Not that it's

not difficult for us older people. X
