I am so sorry. Some people just can't understand this condition and run from it. Others seem to understand but just get it wrong, they think they're helping but are making things worse. Then you get the people who do get it, just, and they are few and far between.

The only people who really understand are fellow sufferers.

Hi kitten-kat23 even my specialist suggested I see someone with fm but I would not know where to start to look

Hi livinginhope, so sorry to hear this, hope you are ok. My OH will not believe there is anything wrong with me even though I've been diagnosed and many hospital visits for tests, he will not even read up about my conditions. Every week now we are arguing because he expects me to run around after him doing everything, I know that he works long hours but there is no need to put me down, call me names and treat me like a general slave! Every weekend he says he is leaving and I've now got to the stage of just saying...well go then as you have no support and understanding for me. All the stress just just sends my pain sky high and I shake like a leaf. So much for those who are supposed to love us eh!

Sorry if this sounded a bit much like it's all about me 😐. It's great that we have all these wonderful people to talk to one this forum, I don't know what I would do without them.

Hugs and all the best

Hi jo a lot of males are like that I was married for 21 years and my ex husband was the same I was also diagnosed with arthritis several years before I left my ex husband and he was thelected same, he had to break into bathroom as I couldon't not move but he still, my ex mother in law cams to the bedroom to see me one day she sat on end of bed and I screamed with the pain she was very understanding and could see I really could not do anything at that point but my ex husband he did not want to see, I was lucky enough to get our 4 children to their teenage years before the arthritis got that bad, I have attended some fm classes and several females have said the same as you and I knew exactly what they were on about

Hugs all the best yve x

I'm sosorry to read your post. I think it is difficult for anyone who does it have this illness to fully comprehend how is it affects us in body and in mind. To have two men who have behaved this way must be soul destroying.

My hubby won't read up about the illness it as though if he doesn't know all the details he can cope. He has depression and anxiety and is finding seeing someone who used to be the go getter and zoomed everywhere and did everything reduced some days to just lying on the bed or sitting in the chair extremely difficult. He does try his best he is doing my tea afraid it is out of a tin and packet but needs must.

It is actually a brilliant suggestion to find someone with fibeo I wonder whether there are any local support groups or Facebook groups you could join. Don't for one moment blame yourself, we are what we are and if our lived ones won't accept that and live us as we are they aren't worth the time and energy trying to convert them, we have little enough if it to spare. Take care do come on more often even if you just read the posts wnd let us know how you are doing.x
