I am joining because I feel so alone in all of this !!! I have Fibromyalgia and Myofasical pain syndrome and osteoarthritis and I am miserable !!!! I feel like my WHOLE life has changed and stolen. I am 49. I use to be able to do it all in a day and a type A personality. My kids now all grown could always count on me and now I can,t even count on myself. I have had pains that would make a man hit his knees and cry !!!! I just need others to talk to. No one understands because it is not like another can SEE how you feel. It is not like a visual of a broke leg or arm. Some days are better than others. Some days are unbearable !!!! House work is hard. I use to love to clean house and decorate and make a home. I feel like I have loss all my happiness and joy. Being in pain everyday is so depressing !!! I would really appreciate to hear from others and make friends here. Thanks everyone !!!!
Hello, jesdavmom! I too suffer from every day pain. I totally understand the depression. I like how you said the pain is not like a visual of a broken leg or arm. Nothing is swollen or in a cast. I am here for you. I totally understand. What kind of things do you do to try to get rid of the pain? So many people tell me that I just need to get up off the couch and MOVE. Do they get that MOVING is what makes me hurt MORE? But I have to say that as much as I hate it, when I finally do get up to do something, it hurts initially but I try to get involved with what I'm doing and before long, the pain does lesson. Not always, but sometimes.
If you would like to chat, please take down my name and we can chat more. I just started this site and am learning how it all works. Maybe we can learn together and try to find some sort of peace together!
God Bless,
Nancy
