Dont be surprised when I DONT answear my phone, or cancel our plans, or
I just Dont seem the same.
I know its hard for you to understand but my life has changed because I have Fibromyalgia
oh lawd that rings a bell with me! Was watching TV with my partner the other night and there was a bit about what people can do to ward off dementia in later life. The specialist being asked said that social interraction (ie talking to people and having a social life) were of great benefit. My partner looked at me and said (with a smile) 'oh well, that means we're definitely going to get dementia', I asked why and he replied that we never go out and do 'stuff' anymore or socialise much. I realised that's true, I avoid big social occasions and decline most invites because I know I'll have difficulty or be uncomfortable. What crap is that - this vile condition is hitting me from all sides.
Kaz ditto to all you have said, my family say i would feel better if i pushed myself a bit more, they havnt a clue, Fibro and menapause not a good combination for me.
Im told you have no energy cos you dont do anything much so when you do try your body cant cope with it. Its try today and pay for it tomorrow i know.

hi susan thats the trouble no one does understand Ive found with both family and friends that they dont want to understand. I dont talk about my condition to any one except you girls on here. at least on here we know how each other is feeling and what each of us are going through When ever Ive pushed myself to much I end up paying for it, feeling more ill and in bed for days. I do what I can and leave the rest. Ive gone through the menopause and had arough time of it. so glad Im through it now then you have my every sympathy with that and fibro take care gentle hugs x
how are you today hope your ok im going for a drive in the car now my wife is taking me out for the first time in ages x
Im with you on the social side I avoid it at all cost we were asked to a BQ this sat my husbands foreman at work, I said you can if you want but Im not going . I wouldnt be able to enjoy myself because of the pain Im in but also Im just no good in social situations any more. Im ok 1 to 1 for some company for an hour but then i get tired.so not fun for us at all is it. onwards upwards battle on. take care gentle hugs
