I was finally diagnosed with Fibro last week. I have been living with chronic pain and fatigue for years. The past six months has been brutal. Things I once loved to do our now impossible. I feel alone. None of my family or friends seem to understand. They would playfully make fun of my daily napping. I am married with two young sons. My husband travels for work. He is gone 90% of the time. Most days are overwhelming. I take Flexiril at night to get about four hours undisturbed sleep. I also take generic Effexor for depression and anxiety. I am so frustrated. I feel 85 instead of 35. I'm not sure what normal feels like anymore. It is so encouraging to find people who can relate to this horrible, invisible illness.
