Top 5 things I wish my family understood about Fibromyalgia!
- I'm not being lazy or weak because I rest so much. Chronic fatigue is part of having Fibro, and no matter how much sleep I get, I am always tired.
- There is no cure or medication I can take to fix it. Just because I don't do the "amazing new cure" you found on the internet doesn't mean I am not trying.
- I am still me. Just because I have had to change things to live my life doesn't mean I no longer love the same things I used to.
- I'm not stupid. Yes I am in pain, yes I take several tablets every day, yes I get my words mixed up a lot but I am not stupid. My mind just doesn't process things as quickly as it once did.
- Some days I can do more than others. Just because one day I am able to go and do things, and the next I can barely move, doesn't mean I am faking it. Believe me I wish I could do everything I used to do too!
