Hello I am new to the group. I am just looking for a little support as my family definitely does NOT understand what I am feeling OR going through. In addition to the fibromyalgia, I suffer from chronic migraines EVERY SINGLE DAY. The fibro and migraines is being managed by my nuero Dr. and up until this week the fibro has only flared up here and there for a day or so (pre-meds). This week though it has been ongoing ALL week and I feel like I want to die. My husband just looks at me like I am a drama queen that is trying to get out of taking care of our our home and six children. (I also am the main financial provider.) I work full-time outside of the home. I just feel like hiding under the covers and crying and shutting everyone out, but that is just not realistic and unfair to my kiddos. It is a unique situation we are in where four of children are 2 and under so they are very dependent upon me. The other two are in their teens and help out as much as possible but I feel bad depending so much on them. I suppose I am just looking for folks that are in the same place. I don't mean to sound whiny, I am just venting.
**I meant post-meds
@Dnytna , nobody understands ‘pain’ unless they have the exact pain symptoms. It is difficult to take care of everything when you are already suffering. We hear you. Hang in there.
So true, everything feels like a uphill battle. Along with fibromyalgia I chronic pain from TMJD along w/Osteoarthritis. The pain radiates + travels. I can't stand being in this body.
Everyone needs to vent. Our loved ones try to understand, but I know at times they have a hard time dealing with what we go through.
