Hello im 27 with 3 little people a full time job i feel my doctors dont listen to me because of my age and i feel alone. Im sad frustrated angry and overwhelmed. I have gotten alittle better with my condition over time with the help of research on the internet. But yet sometimes its still very hard to deal with.

It can be frustrating for all of us. Here's the thing-- first, believe in yourself and continue your quest for information and different treatments. If you feel the doctor is dismissing your concerns, consider expressing your feelings in a non accusatory way. I usually try to give them benefit of doubt as they sometimes have a lot on their mind. If you feel he or she is not helping or listening, I guess you might want to look for another doctor.

We have to try not to let what others think bother us. A lot of people have no idea what fibromyalgia is and even when you try to explain, they still don't. Try to understand that. What matters is that you do. We have to in many ways, take charge of our own health.
