chores

I am new to this forum. I had to retire in 2011 due to CAD and pain. I have always been upbeat and positive, and I used to be able to keep up with the house chores, although I have never been obsessive compulsive. Between the brain fog and the pain that takes over, the morning is the WORST. I...

Glad to have found this group. It's calming knowing that the ones here don't judge. I've had this dreadful monster since 1994....way too long. Although back then we didn't know it was fibro. Also have degenerative disks in my lumbar area and cervical area - and arthritis - not sure if it's...

I was wondering if any of you have ever heard this story. I told my friends about it and now they seem to understand a little bit better that there is a limited amount of things that I can do every day. "The Spoon Theory My best friend and I were in the diner, talking. As usual, it was very...

I have been dealing with RSD and Fibromyalgia for 10 year. My husband will not rub my back, saying because I won't rub his and that his back hurts because he works. My kids who are 20 and 21 will not help around the house, they both say, because they work, leaving all the housework to my 17...

So...after years of misdiagnosis and being treated like a drug seeker I was finally diagnosed with Fibro. I am a male and thought my pains were due to sports injuries, and a very bad auto accident. I get epidurals every 3 months and take hydrocodone x3 daily for a pair of slipped discs and...

I’m 40 years old and I feel like my life is over. Was that all I had to offer? (Not that that’s a bad thing.) I have no where to go from here but down. This is soo heavy for me I have no choice but to put it all aside just so I can try and have a normal day. I don’t think it’s working...

Somedays, just feel like I have been climbing a mountain of chores and stress and I am all out of energy and short of breath. Then seemly a day begins like I will have the whole day to myself to catch my breath and relax, that is until the phone rings and others pile on more stuff for me to do...
