*family?
urgh it's so annoying (to me) when fibro books say that. my mom has been with me to many doctor's appointments, but it doesn't sink in.
my mom thinks fibro = too sensitive = making big deal out of nothing (severe pain, disabled).
She claims to know fibro's ultimate cure, but won't tell me what because she hates me, plus my debilitation troubles her marriage/image. One day she accidentally gave this "secret ultimate cure" away, screaming "you want to know the secret? fibro is all in your head !"
This, after the two decade (well I'm 25 years old right now) of emotional, physical and other abuse suffered at my parents' hands
is anyone kind of in the same boat?

Just have to not let people get to you that are ignorant on the subject even if its family or your mom.
They do not walk in our shoes, they don't have a clue how are pain is and my mom always insulted me since I can remember.
Let it go and move on. I look at that was my moms problem not mine. Just ignore your mom and try to concentrate on the positives everyday know matter how little.
Fibro is NOT all in your head! It may be influenced by hormones, by foods we eat, by allergens, etc., and who knows what else? Our pain is real! And our pain can be helped by many things through trial and error. Hang in there--you will feel better some day....
