I have tried to cope with working, but it did not work for me. So now I am TRYING to get disability. I say TRYING because at my age Social Security figures I am too young to not work. Never mind I am diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, chronic neck and back pain, depression, and anxiety. What does...

The way that I deal with chronic pain varies. Some days I am just so burned out and tired from all of the pain that I go into my room and lie down. My children are normally always around me. So I can't really sulk if I want to. So we watch some movies or may even play on our Nintendo 3DS...

You do like for people who are important to you to understand what it is that you're going through. Honestly, who wants to hear a person complain all the time? I'm not saying that you complain all the time, but I am saying that you may or may not be as energetic and feeling up to the things...

It is painful, Melinda. That's the truth. And yes, you do hurt all the time. The thing is that those who don't understand Fibro or who never heard of it will not be understanding to you hurting ALL the time. It's a very frustrating thing to have. I think with the doctors this disorder is a...

I think this is definitely a good question because I don't hurt the same way other Fibro sufferers do. Like for instance, Fibromyalgia is based off whether you have atleast 11 of the 18 tender points on your body. I keep poking at these points to see if I can experience the, "Ohhhh! Don't...

Yes, cold air can be detrimental to many. I know it gets my joints to aching something fierce. My body goes stiff, no lie. I am one who would much rather the cold than the heat. The heat makes me sick. I get all flustered, clammy, dizzy, and miserable through and through. So imagine me...
