Hello Tod and sarahreidle. I am new here too but it looks like this is a new board.
Fibromyalgia steals more than just relationships, causes more than just pain.
It steals lives one day at a time…
Each day is pain, pain reduces energy, energy reduces quality of life. Fibrofog steals the most important thing… our ability to think and communicate. We loose words all the time, the phrase “it is on the tip of my tongue” was ment for fibromyalgia sufferers… it had to be because we live it daily. People think we are distracted, slow or unable to perform out jobs because we miss things, that we would otherwise not miss. If you are a supervisor it is even worse as employees chat over if you are drinking during your breaks because your speech may be slurred, or you may appear unattentive.
Our world shrinks on a daily basis.
We go on disability or loose our jobs, our world shrinks.
We experience fatigue, our world shrinks.
we loose our independance, our world shrinks.
Loved ones want to help but are frustrated, they see us in pain and can do nothing, outside friends and family members do not believe we are sick, children do not understand why we can not attend events with them…
Our world gets ever smaller…
It hurts to sit
it hurts to stand
even a loving hug can cause pain.
