ive had fibro for 5yrs,and the main problem is getting other people to understand(like my husband) because its not visable,broken leg-poor you,broken body-where? also i thought i was losing my mind,forgetting important things,like picking granddaughter up from school. but thanks to sites like this ,i now realise its another sympton.also when it gets to much to ber,do you find the docs arnt very symphathetic? is it because they dont know to do?

my husband is a sufferer of fibromyalgia for 14 years now. doctors dont know enough about this dreadful illness and therfore cant really help. he is inconstant severe pain and has been depressed for abround 10 years because of the pain. it is extremely hard to watch someone who is 34years old have days when he doesnt want to live. painkillers are just about taking the edge off the pain and hes been told theres no other help for him!! i just wish there was more help and support for fibromyalgia patients and their families.

fybromyalgia effects my breathing which is very frightening also i get very dizzy. i find stretching exercises good for the pain.
