Tired of people saying they have Fibro

Thanks for letting me vent.

You sound as fed up as I am. My one sister is in her 50's, she got shingles on her one leg that lasted about 2 months and through her emails...you'd think she was dying with pain!! Oh baby, walk a day in OUR shoes!!! Seems people these days don't want to be 'bothered' hearing someone grone about their pain! Like the car magnets that were made up for us stating that Fibromyalgia is an 'invisible' disease....it may not be able to be 'seen', but oh boy, we feel it!!

Almost seems we need to wear a sign with some saying on it like...Don't Touch Me...It hurts. Oh well, we are trying our darndest to educate people about Fibro and thats about all we really can do! Oh well!

I for one feel sick. I feel nauseated, dizzy, my legs feet and ankles hurt so bad I want to drag myself through the house.My head, neck, and shoulders hurt.My hips, and lower back, and ribs hurt. I'm literally falling apart and I know for a fact that Tylenol doesn't do one thing for this pain.

I was eating Tylenol like they were bags of M&M's and my doctor got on to me and had to test my liver and kidney function.

The people that say thses things either don't have Fibro as bad as some of us, or they were misdiagnosed which does happen.

I met a lady at my kids dentist office yesterday and she asked me if I worked last night because I looked so tired and I said no I stay in pain 24/7. I said I have Fibromyalgia and arthritis. She said oh yes that Fibro is a hard thing to deal with I had it for 6 years, but mine went into remission. I just stood there looking at her.

of course wanted to ask HOW. but by the time I got past the shock the handicap lady she was caring for go called to the back.

I think Fibro is one of the worste diagnoses to be stuck with because allot of people just don't beleive in it.

DISCOMFORT FROM THE TIME MY EYES OPEN!!AND BEFORE!!I TRIED WORKING MORE AND COULD HARDLY WALK..I WAS DOING VISITING NURSING, MEDICAID VISIT..IN AND OUT OF CAR!! I COULD HARDLY WALK AT THE END OF THE DAY!!I FEEL BETTER WITH THE NUTRIONAL SUPPORT,BUT I HAVE MUSCLE TIERDNESS AND
