Sometimes I feel like the fatigue and pain from my fibro is making my life pass me by and even worse, I have 2 amazing daughters, 1 & 3 years old, and I feel like I'm missing their childhood too.
Are there any other mums with toddlers on here? do you ever feel like this? How do you manage?
Mothers of cats yes! 
Joking!

I have been suffering with pains for over 20 yrs and only diagnosed Aug 2014.
I was in pain for 4yrs before having my first child, but was pain free during my pregnancy. After birth the pains came back much worse. When my son was 18 mths, I could not longer hold me, that made me feel so sad. He understood the reasons why and accepted it. There is a seven year age gap between my two sons and the second one exactly the same, Pain free during pregnancy and worse afterwards. I had my second son in 2004.
It's tough but as a mother you push your pains to oneside to care for your loved ones. Now that my two are slighly older, I am able to have some ME time every now and then.
Gentle hugs to you. Take care x
Hello. I am so sorry that you're feeling this way. I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia last week but I've had the condition for a little over a year now. I also have two daughters like you. They just turned 3 and 4 years old. It is difficult to care for them especially with the fatigue and brain fog that I deal with on a daily basis. I also do not have any family besides my husband and I so that makes it extra difficult. Something that helps me personally is prayer. I spend a lot of my days in prayer and when things are really difficult and I become overwhelmed with my little ones (and all the responsibly that comes with being a mother and wife), I ask God to show me where he is in my life. I'm not sure how to think past this moment or even this day but I know that He has gotten me this far and he won't leave me now! this condition is very unfair to both of us and our families but I do thank the Lord that it is me that has this problem and not my children. I hope things get a bit better for you as time goes on. You are in my prayers friend! Sending love your way from one mama to another 💗. Diane
