You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I am reading some of the post here and I see that wanting to be alone with myself in a quiet place is not uncommon amoung us. Are we becoming anti social and if so is it because we think people do not understand how we feel or we just don't want to be bothered because of how we feel? I am afraid of becoming a recluse. I really prefer to be home doing my own thing. My family does not bother me but I do not want others to come and think I am going to entertain them.
Also, is anyone else having problems driving? I can go 5-10 minutes from the house fine but I get anxious if I have to drive a half hour or more.

You where up early scanning the site. I'm glad you found this post.
My husband is getting worried because I prefer to be at home in the quiet. No TV no radio, MPV player I would turn the fridge off if I could! LOL.
I think for me it's because so much of my energy is used up to deal with the pain that I need the quiet to restore my energy levels and peace of mind so that I can deal with people.

Driving is also as issue, like many before said I drive the routes I know but only in the day time and never if I'm in a flare.
Hope all that are scanning the posts today have a quiet and pain free day!
It's not nice, but too true, that I cut my husband's speech off, so that I can write here, or watch TV. It's rude, I know that, but I don't have the patience to listen to his silly comments all day long. He's a real drama queen, and I need to rest and let the world go by.
Driving is a problem, as it's been stated. My right leg get's tired and my back aches. I can get to the dr.'s, but must be careful of my meds, as I"m afraid of an accident, too.
