Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year. It is possible I have been living with this for 7 years, the problem is with all the doctors I saw no body was able to figure out the problem. I am 40 years old and feel that I have no controll over anything. I am unable to plan outings because I do not know if I will be able to go. I have a wonderful husband that helps all of the time (He had a hip replaced in Sept. 2002)I also have my mother living with us.(She has severe arthritis and needs a wheel chair) I have two kids (girl 23 and boy 17) that help with things. I also have my duaghter's fiance and my 4 year old grandson living in the house. They all help tremendously but I feel so guilty that I am unable to do the things a duaghter, wife, mother, and grandmother are suppose to do. I cannot do laundry or cook. I cannot go to the store by myself. I try to do some things around the house but I pay for it later. We all try to keep a sense of humor which helps but you can't keep that up all of the time. I hate being so dependent on others. When I was a kid I was in sports, as I got older I helped by working at 14 after my father died but now I can barely make it through work. I get home and go to bed, some life I lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
