I know what you mean. It's the loss of quality of life that hurts me most. The pain I can treat and at least lessen it. The fatigue I can go to bed, have TV, radio, audiobooks. I'm lucky in that I'm retired and don't have anyone to look after ( except my two dogs) . But there is no quality of life. I can do two, three things a day at most. Walk the dogs, Hoover a room and I'm fading fast. Then have a choice between cooking a meal or something like changing the bedding. Going out to anything seems to take days of planning.

I understand all that Fibro can be challenging (to say the least!) to learn how to deal with it's myriad of symptoms. I hope you'll find this community a online support network where you can get tips and advice from other members based on their experiences of Fibro.

All the best

HI Suetiff it's nice to meet you and wish you a a warm welcome to the group :)

I agree it would be wonderful if their was a specific medication made to treat fibro. I am sure that one day they may be. But for now we're left with what's available. 30 years I've had this illness and can not take any of the medication that's available at the moment. So like you I too wish there was more help for our pain.

You may find our sister website helpful it has load of information that may be useful to you. This is the link if you would like to take a look. fmauk.org

I have noticed you have not locked your post you may wish to do so to keep your posts private to this community only. You don't have to but members tend to answer more post if they see them locked. This link will show you how to do it.
