Hi All,
My mother has fibro. I have been lurking around reading the suggestions that some have found to help with managing pain. I have also done research online. I have found so much helpful information! The problem is, when I tried to present it to my mother she was uninterested. It makes me so sad, because I get really excited when I find information that I think will help her. Than I present it to her and she listens but is very nonchalant about it. I, even, think that if she joined this forum it would be great for her to meet other people going through similar situations. I suggested this and she said she doesn't like the idea of being on a 'forum'. She is afraid that the people she meets online will somehow harm her.
So, I have researched herbs that I think may be helpful for her as well as suggested alternative therapies. She is not receptive. I don't want her to think that pain meds are the only way that she will find relief.
Does anyone have any suggestions, so I can possibly present things differently to her? I want to help.
Thank You,
Missy Bea
