    Criticism

    One thing I find very difficult is the criticism that I receive from others when I do not participate in things that they think I should. Frankly, I don't care what they think of me, but being criticized is still stressful, and for me (I guess for all of us) stress triggers much worse symptoms...

    Feeling really low & a bit sorry for myself!

    Hi I've only just joined the group & really need a good kick up the backside to snap me out of this low mood! I've not been formally diagnosed with fibro yet, after going over my symptoms & finding so many tender points my rheumatologist said it was a possibility. I also have hypermobility...

    Dx 8/2016

I believe this stemmed from complications from brain...

    Blah!

    At the risk of sounding sorry for myself I find that I am just not in the mood for tomorrow. I envy my friends and family that are out and about and enjoying today and tomorrow with loved ones.

    Doc...Give my pain a purpose

    I just wanted to let this out: My doctor needs to go back to school. What's up with all of these Old School, old mindset and proud doctors who wont listen to us. Trust me, I have better things to do with my time than lay around the house in excruciating pain, forgetting my thoughts before they...
