Hello. Thinking i need a bit of help/guidance? I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago with chronic fatigue and fibro. Which i immediately dismissed as "not right'. It was a nice little box to put me in after a couple of years already on the medical roundabout of docs, specialists, ed, ect. Well i am still in denial....As when im good im at 80 percent and feel wonderful this may last for up to a week! And i fool myself into t hinking all my symptoms are just in my head. Then i make up all the excuses when im not well...im just lazy, i overdone it in the garden, im sensitive to weather changes, im just getting older...i think im very slowly acknowledging i do have fibro?? Yet still struggle with being put into a "box" Is there anyone else that has gone through the denial?????? Needing help as am so sick of my mind denying it..........

    Hi Kylie black I was in denial for a long time, I struggled to come to terms with it. I have found you go through different emotions with fibro. denial, grieving for the person you once were, anger, finally the hardest of them all acceptance. I just take each dasy as it comes get through it as best you can. I try focus my mind on other things and not on fibro and my other conditions. being kind to our selves treating ourselves also helps.take care gentle hugs
