I'm wondering if it's your family sister not surporting could doc print off information sheets for them to read better still take sis with you on next appointment some one needs to get it through to them in order they help you and not make you cry . A great shame when your nearest dearest are reacting this way it's happened to the best of us take care xx

I'm so sorry you're feeling so alone with all the pain. I understand how that feels. Don't give up, you will find a way forward, but it takes patience and time. It's really really hard when friends and relatives don't understand and have no sympathy. I've had some really low times myself, and to be frank, you need to get support from where ever you can find it. For me that was phoning the samaritans, particularly after my father died, and they were so great, really understanding and supportive. Don't hold back, get the support you need.

I know. It's terrifying but best not to let your mind dwell on the 'what ifs'. Talk to someone about your fears and then try and get back to the present moment if you can. I know my mind can torture me with the 'what ifs' so I have to use strategies to deal with it (I've also got a small benign brain tumour which I've been told will one day give me seizures so I know how scary the 'what ifs' can be!)

I hear you hun- my family were just the same many years ago when fibro started, when my daughter was diagnosed they really changed their tune! I find immersed in warm water is good relief or just stand under the shower on high speed and gently stretch. what pain relief have you got Hayley95 ?

I'm on amptripline at night but nothing during the day. X

Not a lot of good for pain really- ask your gp to try you with co codamol strong if you can take them, avoid anti eplileptic drugs like gabapentin/pregabelin they can be quite fierce and upset you.

My family and friends find this illness hard to deal with as it is difficult to treat and as far as I know, impossible to cure. I ask how can they understand something that I don't really understand myself. I won't stop trying though and will keep fighting. Xx

There's a really good book called 'fighting fatigue' by sue pemberton/Catherine berry.

If you are only going to read one book then this is it!

Anyways, skipping to the point, there is a whole chapter just for carers, family, friends, anyone really and it's written in such a way it's really helped me turn non believers into believers. Might be worth a try... the rest if the book is really good too
