LyndellD,

I am a woman suffering with fibromyalgia (and depression) and haven't been able to work since September. My boyfriend is currently supporting me financially as well as emotionally. I am sure it must be hard for him. Nobody can understand the disease unless they have it, and even then it can be hard because it varies from person to person. He doesn't really express himself to me, but I can tell he gets frustrated. Perhaps I can talk to him and see if he will exchange emails with you. It could help both of you.

Hello LyndellD,

I am new to this site and I have now registered to communicate. I have spent the past few years thumbing through FM sites and taking notes on my fiancé’s conditions, triggers, soothers, and irritants. I will have to say that from reading through these posts and countless FM sites...my fiancé has the most extreme case of FM ever documented. I am not an extremist and I tend to down play most things, but I will have to say that this girl is in some chronic pain…and I have seen the progression for 15 years. We went to college together way back in the day and she and I finally reunited two years ago. I remember going to the doctor with her a few times when she was just initiating the search for causes of her pain. Today, it’s extreme and painful for the both of us…but it’s all about loving her, taking care of her the best you can, and remaining calm and understanding. Please keep in touch on this and I will do my best to keep up with this thread.
