So sorry your having a bad time at least you can be sure that everyone on here does understand what your going through.
Have you try'd a memory foam mattress?? Just a thourght, hope your days as good as it can be....Hugs xxxx
its so hard for other to understand our pain, when I got back from gp yesterday with the news of yet another hospital consulation everyone rolled thei eyes. I hope you feel better soon all you can really do is restxxxx
Dear Bobby, sorry to hear you are suffering at the moment and your family/friends are not understanding. I think we all understand that situation and I have found it better to say nothing unless they ask and then keep it to basic details. Keep the big moan and vent for on here.
I recall not understanding my fathers pain when he hurt his back and he really did - involved vertibrae, since then I have pulled muscles and tendons and o.m.g the pain was worse than giving birth. Oh yes, you won't know about that one. There you go. We each experience different kinds of pain in different ways and some can deal with it better than others. Maybe your family have been lucky and not suffered, but the chances are they will in the future and then they will understand how selfish they appear. I am sure they probably do not mean to be and do not realise the hurt they inflict through the tinyest flicker of an eyebrow.
I have also suffered from peoples ignorance, but have decided to believe they are just uneducated on the topic of FM and the types of pain this illness can inflict. Otherwise I become upset about it and things begin to get on top of me. Well there is enough trouble in our lives without adding to it.
Take heart from the fact that you have found us here and know that we know what you are likely to be suffering. When things are getting on top of you come here and really let rip. It is strange how writing it all out allieves the stress.
Take care of yourself, look into memory foam mattresses - tip, go see your local habedashery as they can sometimes supply the foam cheaper!
It's difficult for a non sufferer to understand Fibro. I had someone thump my upper arm, which hurt. "What have you done " said she. Nothing I replied, it's just my Fibro. "There is always something wrong with you" she said.That ws so hurtful, because all these pains etc come under the same umbrella. Sleep is very important. I really couldn't be bothered to go all through that. It's still lies heavy with me, sahnt forget that comment Gill V
