hello all, this is my first post and I don't know if I will receive a warm welcome!
My wife has fibromyalgia and I am looking for some advice and support. As I don't have the illness myself I don't know if you will be able to help me but I thought that I would see if I was alone.
I find it difficult to talk to anyone about this but my wife was diagagnosed some time ago and I don't think she realises how difficult it is to live with this condition from "the other side" I love her dearly but I get very frustrated and sometimes I find it hard to cope with. I'm sure she thinks that I don't believe that there is such a condition. She still goes to work full time and I admire her for this as I know that she finds this difficult. Our daily conversation starts with 'oh the pain, then it's can you get me my tablets" when I speak to her on the phone it is I've had a bad day, when she gets home it's oh I'm sore and I need some tablets, and the last thing she says at night is oh I'm sore. I don't mean to be heartless but it is hard to live with. I do the magority of the house work and although I'm not a very good cook I prepare most of our meals. I work full time as well and neither she or I class me as her carer. This may not be the place to discuss this but we have not had any form of a "physical relationship" for over 3 years now as I am frightened to touch her in case I hurt her. But I was just wondering if anyone else was in a similar position.
