Its OK you are safe here. No one here judges you as we all have pains in one form or another.

Do you want to tell me where you hurt? Or what your GP has told you? Do you take any medication?

There is a fibro site here where you will get masses of support from other sufferers. They know far more about fibro than I do.

Could you write your post on there?

Gentle hugs and I believe you

I beleive you too, sadly some people judge by what they see. But it is the unseen uncurable chronic illnesses that are hardest to deal with. Fibromyaligia is a recognised incurable chronic disease, hope you find some good help and support on the Fibromyaligia site. I have several freinds with this severe illness and we have a very good support network in our city. Take care and speak out if you feel frustrated with the pain. know the feeling I have arthritis amongst other things.

I believe you. I really do. I also feel very sorry for you. I am in constant pain because I have a massive inoperable rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder and a small tear in my left. No pain killers work as I am allergic to codeine and can only take paracetamol. I have had injections but they only last a couple of weeks. I am now awaiting radio frequency nerve blocking ablation!. I really do understand the pain you are in. X

I believe you. Having been diagnosed with FM almost 25 years ago which added to all the other ortho problems. I am now 75 yrs old, struggle to attend church and yes, altho I know that Jesus believes me and loves me I tend to worry about people believing me. Hey, butblessf Jesus is for me who can be against me. Love and God Blessx

I believe you xx.... an I feel for you. I also feel like sitting down with some people in my life and stating exactly what you said in your post. Even after years and years, some people just cannot seem to understand the limitations you are faced with, and that pushing beyond that to please others is agonising!

I really hope you find a treatment that helps to relieve some of your pain, and that those you need to understand start to listen. I'll pray for you.

Of course you are in pain: good doctors and health professionals know that pain is what YOU say it is and I hope the specialist website helps you. I also like NHS Choices. And have you had a look at Pete Moore's Pain Toolkit? All the best.

Hi, I believe you because I am the same way, but I just keeping going, or I would not be able to walk or do anything with my Grandsons and Great Grandson. I will pray for your healing, or at least feeling less pain.

I believe you, I have some conditions that they say could be in my mind because I have had depression for years.

I know they are real but getting someone to believe me is hard.

I Believe you too ..

as I felt like that before I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease while my dr said it was just my age .

He wasn’t so damned cocky after he had to tell me about the Graves though , after I insisted on blood tests .....

What’s wrong with these people !

Do they think we enjoy going to them to beg for help ?

I hope you get lots of help on the Fybromyalgia site

Though many of your symptoms sound Thyroid related .

Good luck Luvvie
