I have shared this link on a previous comment I made, and realised it would be great for everyone to see again,

Especially has lots of people are searching for info to share with families and friends so they will have a better understanding.

wikihow.com/Help-People-New...

We all struggle with the misunderstandings of others in regard to our fibro and I think by passing on this link and information to our friends and families I think and hope they will have a better understanding of how to help us and how to understand!

And hopefully eliminate the frustration we feel.

I hope everyone will have a look at it and make use of it?

Best wishes and soft hugs to everyone. Xx

I've only just come across this post today as i only get the daily email updates and there doesn't seem to be anything on that link. As much as I like my GP I don't think he is all that up on fibro he is very helpful but I would love something to show him…. without being too patronising of course, i don't want to tell my gP how to do his job or ask him how much he knows about fibro. Because this is only just one of my problems i just get the feeling he steers away from commenting about it. I'm wondering if another referral back to the pain clinic would help me at the moment.

shame i seemed to have missed the article xx

Thank you so much form this article - you've no idea what it means to have something to show a husband who is only just, after about five years, accepting that I'm not malingering/exaggerating/being lazy etc.etc.

Thank you

spidergirl44 in reply to gilz

Very well said! You are right we should not have to suffer the misunderstanding s of others anymore!! Why don.t they get it!?, gp.s should be made to understand this condition and what we have to suffer especially their misguided comment s they make to us, someone has to make a stand to this,

does anyone know how we can get this article circulating to the right people to get it noticed?

Soft hugs xx
