The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I know I haven't been posting my hellos to you guys, I've been having a nasty flare but it seems to have settled now. I'm back to my usual aches and pain. My family has been around what has been stressful. I have become anti-social because of the firbo.
I don't want to do work for people, and I don't feel like walking around town. Expect when I have a flare. *sigh* I wish people understood our fibro pain. They expect so much from us.

Hang in there. I'm glad your flare is backing off. Take care of yourself.
It is true about family, they can be more trouble than help when you need them. And like Bbmom said, it seems like they don't understand the concept of good days and bad days. So they expect you to carry on the same all the time. My husband hasn't caught on yet and we live together. I can only imagine how much more difficult it would be for people who don't live with you to try and understand. I mean, unless they too have a form of chronic pain themselves and even they don't always get you because experiences widely vary.
