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 year old son and me. Then my husband yells at me because I haven't done our laundry or our bedroom chores and I try to explain I can only do things at 10 minutes at a time with resting 30 minutes to an hour in between, then by the time I can get around to doing our chores it's bedtime. If I stay up and try and get them done then he yells at me for staying up, being too loud doing this stuff. I try to work on line in between and then he complains my typing bothers him, tv bothers him. No we don't have a living room that has a tv, though I made a sitting room in our bedroom for a tv, however, still no tv.
I am so frustrated that no one understands that daily chores hurt so bad. I get yelled at that I don't cook, even though it takes me about 2 hours to cook a 30 minute meal. Then I get mad and do it and end up being laid up for days.
Any tips on coping with this?
