Cheryl, You know, honey, it does get old for all of us, doesn't it? Having our nearest and dearest

just plain not understand that we can't predict or control our pain, and after so many years of chronic pain and fatigue, we don't have the resources to rise above it most of the time, either. I

know exactly what you mean. I see that exasperated look on my kids' faces sometimes when they

just think I should "get over it". Wouldn't that be great, if we COULD just "get over it"? I vote for

that. LOL

Perhaps if you ask your hubby to imagine that he has the worst case of flu he's ever experienced,

has worked ten hours in spite of it, and is then told his exhaustion is "all in his head", how he would

feel? It might put it in better perspective for him. Then again, some people never get it. Worth a

try, though, don't ya think? I'm cheering for you. Loving hugs, MM
