My mom says I stress her out when I'm in my mode. I think it's very common for us to fell this way since we are in allot of pain. Anyone in pain is going to be grumpy.Beleive my son had his tonsils removed and I know when he's hurting because he will start getting mean lol. I just run and grab him his Tylenol with codiene and he usually is like a totally different person in about 15 to 20 minutes.

I of course don't have pain meds so I get irritable and have to figure out a way to not put stress on those around me.

Everyone says we have to accept this illness. Okay, we have accepted that we have it, but that doesnt mean we approve of it, or adapt so well to the fact that we cant do many of the things that we once did before.

Maybe it is a bit of jealosuy and frustration.

Ive been told many of times that my husband is tired of hearing day in and day out that I have fibro. He even told me the other day when he stubbed his toe, he said ouch I have fibro in my toe. Yeah I was mad and said enough choice words for everyone in this group but fact is, I still have fibro and nothing is gonna change that or how I feel.

Ladies, I found out that if I would of given up on my life and just let everyone else do my housework then I would be in a wheelchair by now. I know how bad that pain is that everyone is going through but I also know that you are all very strong ladies and you can do anything that you set your mind to doing.

I hope that I have not upset anyone with my opinion and feelings.
