World of disbelievers

[Bump196]

So yesterday I decided in future when people ask me if I'm OK. I'm just going to say I'm tired and a bit run down. I won't be mentioning the word fibro anymore. No one seems to believe me anyway. Only the doctor.

I have found also that many feel that the pushing of fibro has been done to death and view it a bit like the 'bad back' itis!! Shame for those who truly suffer it's effect though.

Hey Bump196

I only speak to the people that I really care about, in relation to my Fibro. I don't have time to deal with other people's ignorance and naivety and I certainly don't need to justify or prove my illness to anyway! Find it's the best way to live

I hope that you do have the support of those closest to you though xxx

Hi Bump196, when people as how am, I say either "up and down" or "so, so" depending on how I feel.

This satisfies them, because they don't actually want to know how you are, they are just being polite. They certainly don't want a long answer that makes them feel bad for asking! 😄

Take care, x

Yes me too. I just say "not so bad" even when I feel like death. People don't seem to want to hear you are struggling.
