And Again

[Ellie1991]

I am sorry to rant further but again I had some fibro fog and more pain today so fogt to do some things and then mum demanded i lift a series of heavy boxes that i try to avoid due to the fibro and again picked on my dog. I work for dad and we all live on one sight so it is not always easy. It rely got to me today for the first real time in years, dosent help my hormones are all over the place but there u go.

Hi Ellie1991 I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a bad time with your mum not accepting what you are going through. Have you tried printing off articles and giving them to her to read, so that she could then maybe understand what you are going through. I believe that if you go to the main Fibromyalgia UK page there are links to articles there here's the link to the information pack fmauk.org/information-packs.... Hopefully after reading this your mum might see you and your fibromyalgia in a different light. Sending you a gentle hug.

Hi Ellie1991, I’m so sorry to hear of your struggles! It’s very difficult when you are feeling awful, but it’s so much harder when you are not believed! It’s a very stressful situation & so hard to cope with. Stress makes Fibromyalgia even worse! It’s one of my main trigger factors, so I really do empathise with you. Sending a gentle hug! x

Sorry to read this, hard too say no too someone being family as well but if it causes pain next time be firm with her and yes perhaps get her too read an article on this condition, good here too share and let it out as we do understand totally, glad you have a little dog for company. Sending a wrap around hug x

Take your time and do things when your fibro body has better days ,we do need too take a step back sometimes and days we need our own space for sure. I am happy with hibernating under the duvet at night with my TV ,last few days been very dull and heavy rain . I’ve even been watching some Xmas films 😀early for me ha ha, but seeing all the beautiful decorations in the back ground looks really pretty .xx
