Hey, all!!!

Can we list some things for newbies to give to family and friends to read about fibro and how it affects us?

I like the Spoon Theory.....I know we've talked about them before, but I'd like to get a complete list and print them out!

Thanks, and HUGS from down south :)

Deep radiating pain that seems to come from the bones to the surface of the skin throughout my body that never goes away. Like every little nerve ending is frayed and at war with each other. The pain increases and decreases but never goes away. The longer it goes on the more tiring it has become to try to manage and cope with.

There is many other things involved besides the pain factors I don't think there is a simple explanation.

I really don't exspect others to understand this as I am not sure if I did not have it myself I could understand. I just exspect not to be judged for how I feel.

I think it is frustrating to try to explain how this feels and avoid it by just saying I have a chronic body pain conditions that affects my body and it tires me out. Which often affects my thinking and speaking.and ability to do things I;d like to do.

Take care gentle hugs

There is a letter written by someone which explains fibro really well. I am not sure where it's at, maybe the Fibro Association website. I have read it and if it doesn't explain it, nothing probably will. However, if they are around you enough, they should get an idea.
