Since being diagnosed with fibromyalgia I have always said it will not rule my life I have been able 2 stick to this until my recent flare up when I also ended up having vertigo pain got very bad had to go on sick at work have had infections now have the flu I just wonder if I will ever feel any better or if this is the best I am going to get sorry to rant but feel like people look at u n think why is she off work as she looks fine I just want to say to them an illnesses or disability is not always visable so don't judge rant over

      I agree I don't care what they think I would like to see them cope with it for just 1day it is hard to take it easy but sometimes we have no choice as we r unable to do anything but hey ho these things r sent to try us in life and I am still determined to live life to the full might just be in the slow lane insted pf the fast lane 😊 x

    Hi Debbie

    Oh NO.....poor you.....Fibro is NOT fair and comes and goes and all suffer in many different ways.  Staying positive and trying NOT to think too much about it as this will only cause further stress to you and your pains......

    You should rant as much as you want......this forum is for us to let off steam and help support one another.

    Don't feel disheartened as with positive attitude we can all overcome Fibro even if it is for a short period.  Have you tried CBT as this is useful to help with your mind and controlling the pains we feel mentally with a positive attitude.  I have tried herbal remedies which have helped me over the past few months after 20 yrs of suffering.  You can message me privately if you need to know more about this treatment.

    We are all here for you.....sending you BIG gentle hugs from ME to YOU for a POSITIVE day ahead..... wink xx

    Hi Debbie

    Bee is right, take one day at a time, and try and be positive, it's very difficult and when I have a bad time with my fibro I always end up thinking things will never get any better, but they usually do, even if it takes a while.

    Take care, and rant any time, it does us good smile

    Gentle hugs
