Fibromyalgia Symptoms HOME

Hello,

My sister and her husband say that I should have no problem finding work of any kind. I feel so limited in my life and I know that I should be grateful to be alive as I was hit and dragged by a vehicle. She says its all in the mind. Unfortunately you can't measure pain. For a person to understand someones malady it should either be visual or the person on the outside should experience the same. I don't wish this on anyone. We just have to take care of ourselves. If someone doesn't want to support or believe me it's not my problem but theirs. Sometimes easier said than done. Sure it is sad.

People don't have compassion and aren't being nice anymore. If they can't visualize it, you can't believe they will understand.

I learned a long time ago, you have a broken leg you have cast, talk to them you broke your leg in a skiing accident, people are attracted to you.

Tell them you have cancer, and they run away from you, afraid they might catch it. Or they'll say something stupid like, I know you, your tough you'll survive...... blah blah blah......

Tell them you have FMS, say what again, what's that, or just pull yourself together and you'll be ok. Yeah right.... They have no compassion, because life is way to fast, we have pills for an infection, we have a cast for broken bones. Talk to them about a mysterious illness like fibro and they go say what again, isn't that a fake illness. You just need a vacation or you just need to pull yourself up and get going.
That is the nature of life, and we got there, by not having any compassion and blaming everyone for everything and what we don't understand because it has not capted an audience on television with a new breakthrough, then people don't understand it, and don't want to understand it.
