should have got on a plane to LA today but had to cancel due to a flare up of fibro!!!  will have to get a crystal ball in future to predict when my symptoms are going to flare up or maybe start going to a spiritual church ,see if i get any messages! just thinking , should i join a witches coven? see if they can shed any light on fibro? attend ritualistic burnings, if nothing else , it would warm my hands and feet up !

    You can try to read tea leaves or praying after solar flares. smile

    I feel your frustration, fibro has been a real stresser for me in planning family get togethers, prioritizing my work commitments and even scheduling my doctors appointments. So sorry you had to cancel.

      Well, to a certain extent.

      Every woman in my family does have fibro so if I have to cancel or reschedule with my mother or grandmother they are disappointed but they are not mad or offended because they understand and both have cancelled things in the past.

      I find it more difficult to explain it to my husbands family or to friends and often just bare through it to avoid the ridiculous conversation that often follows, especially if someone is dependant on me. However, I am not going to be pleasant and will not be able to participate in all planned activities.

      The conversation rarely seems accurate or enough. "I hurt" can't possibly explain what I am going through.

      I have had a handful of 'friends' that I had to cancel plans with on a really, really bad day that pouted for a while.

      That was hilarious but I agree, I wish it was more well known and frankly, even though it's better, I wish it didn't have such a stigma.

      . I'll let you know if I end up on a fluffy pink cloud or any interesting hallucinations .

    Hi Donna; absolutely agree with you re "scheduling appointments".....if I know that I have a Drs' appt/anything, know that the days before and after have to be kept free....which can become an issue at times...........Bron
