    oh lawd that rings a bell with me!  Was watching TV with my partner the other night and there was a bit about what people can do to ward off dementia in later life.  The specialist being asked said that social interraction (ie talking to people and having a social life) were of great benefit.  My partner looked at me and said (with a smile) 'oh well, that means we're definitely going to get dementia', I asked why and he replied that we never go out and do 'stuff' anymore or socialise much.  I realised that's true, I avoid big social occasions and decline most invites because I know I'll have difficulty or be uncomfortable.  What crap is that - this vile condition is hitting me from all sides.

    Kaz ditto to all you have said, my family say i would feel better if i pushed myself a bit more, they havnt a clue, Fibro and menapause  not a good combination for me.

    Im told you have no energy cos you dont do anything much so when you do try your body cant cope with it. Its try today and pay for it tomorrow i know.

      hi susan thats the trouble no one does understand Ive found with both family and friends that they dont want to understand. I dont talk about my condition to any one except you girls on here. at least on here we know how each other is feeling and what each of us are going through When ever Ive pushed myself to much I end up paying for it, feeling more ill and in bed for days. I do what I can and leave the rest. Ive gone through the menopause and had arough time of it. so glad Im through it now then you have my every sympathy with that and fibro take care gentle hugs x
