Hi friend,
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s completely understandable to feel frustrated and overwhelmed when you’re in pain and not getting the support you need. Chronic pain, especially when it feels dismissed or misunderstood, can take such a heavy toll on both your body and mind. Fibromyalgia is real, and what you’re experiencing matters, even if the treatments offered so far haven’t fully addressed your needs.
It’s incredibly difficult when you have other conditions, like IBD, that limit your options for pain relief. Not being able to see a specialist right now must feel like another roadblock. You shouldn’t have to carry this pain on your own, and your desire for relief is so valid.
Please know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. Crying, feeling worn down—it’s all a natural response to living with so much on your plate. I hope you’ll find a path that offers better support and relief soon, and if it helps, I’m here to listen whenever you need. With love, SG
Fibromyalgia (aka chronic fatigue syndrome ?) is still not well-understood by the medical profession, but according to friends who have to deal with it the pain (and other physical symptoms) are absolutely real. Can you get a 2nd/3rd opinion? I believe there are some doctors who have a fairly good grasp of the challenges involved. I wish you the very best of luck.
