HI ALL

I am Wardene and have had this condition for about 10 to 11 years and I find it hard to cope with sometimes, feel sorry for my hubby, he comes off the worse on bad days, just lately have had about 3 good days since xmas, now have bother eating and being sick after. In a wheelchair because have bother walking, which I don,t like and can,t get use to, use to work full time. I get the all the other problems like not sleeping, headaches, etc.

I just want someone to talk to who is feeling the same way. Sorry for moaning. I try to keep positive each day but its hard. I know what others are going through but people look at you and think you okay.

    4 1/2 years ago I was working 51 hours a week I was caring for 4 to 5 elderly residents every day 5 and 6 days a week. I was 37, I had recently married about 10 months before. Halloween night 2011 I felt very very light headed and not myself at all next all I remember is I came to with paramedics in my bedroom my husband and neighbor called 911 after I experienced a seizure like episode. soon after i started falling for no reason and theseizure like episodes continued almost a year later and so somany test later I was told I had FM. I had no clue what all this painful confusing illness was going to end up doing to my husband three children and myself. I understand how lonely it feels, like you are all alone no ones understands. don't get me wrong my family are there for me but the symptoms alone is so great in number anyone who does not experience thempersonally can not comprehend what a FM sufferer goes through everyday. I have a wonderful doctor who has tried every FM medicine on the market nothing helps I am currently on pain medication meds for my ADD and a weak nerve pill to control the seizures. I was glad to find this forum I need to vent sometimes to some one who not only says "I understand" butreally does hope to be of some help and receive some support also. God bless you
