I have had symptoms for awhile now, but the pain is more intense now. I notice that when I am about to have a flair up, my spine feels like it is on fire. Mostly though my back hurts. My doc thinks I acquired fm from a tramatic injury from work 3 years ago.

Sue, as you start to adjust to this illness your family will adjust also. Children are very resilient. You will be amazed with them. I just had an anxiety attack the other night in front of my 7 year old granddaughter. She has never seen one before but she ran and got my medicine and water then she stood right in front of me and said "Nanna" you have to breath all the way down from your toes! And believe it or not you can gasp for air and laugh at the same time. But she is the one that got me back on track and breathing the way I should. You will realize that your children have a strengh you never knew they had. And you will be reaching deep down to find a strength that you never realized you had. It will all work out. Im not saying you won't have alot of tough days but you will prevail as your children will. And with all the great people here at MD, all you have to do is reach. I don't know if your spiritual but if you are, during your pain don't forget to reach out to that side of you either. I tend to forget when I am in pain. We will be here for you. Luv always, Kaze

Hi Elizabeth ...

I don t have a lot of support of family either. I think, because, maybe they don t want to think of Fibro as a serious disease. Anyway ... I can t imagine you don t have excitement going on in your life with such a busy family. Sometimes I miss not having little ones around to run places etc. but working keeps me busy even when I am in misery. Take care !

I know and understand how you feel. I have been there and know how it hurts. My children are teenagers now, but it still hurts. It is also amazing how they have grown up to be better people.

Last Christmas the kids wanted to go to the mall. They knew that both me and my mother would not be able to walk all over the mall. The kids went in and got wheel chairs and pushed us around just so we could all spend the day together at the mall.

I am not trying to turn this around to a look at me message. I want you to see how wonderful children grow up and learn to adapt.
