I agree. Noone can make it totally on their own no matter how strong we are. It is always easier to have a shoulder to lean on when the going gets tough. Thanks for letting me lean on you guys. Nina

I lean on DS. People don't want to hear about it. Actally my Mom and two sosters do always ask how I am doung when we talk on the phone. (They live out of state) I almost never hear from one daughter and I can tell that the other one doesn't want to hear it. When I mentioned it, she said, well everybody has pain. ohoh, (smacks self) I nearly incited a one-woman pity party!! I"m off for my wet-noodle flogging.

my husband mostly...i try not give to much of the crap to my daughter...

My husband, My friend who also has Fm and all of you here on DS

My DS FMily, my daughters and my pets

I have my friends and family and my friends from church and AA and now my DS friends.

I lean on my husband, I also take out my frustrations on him(which isn't all that good) But I know he understands and he lets me get it out and then it's over. I have however found that ds is helping me, it eases my frustrations just knowing I am not alone, it takes away some of my bitterness and I find myself explaining things more to my husband then just flipping out

I lean on my Laura, God, our church family, my OA fellows and now this wonderful DS community...I call you all, my peeps!!!

1. Hubby !!!!!

I would say it would have to be my husband. He does an awful lot for me esp. when I am having a bad day. I hear some of the husband stories and it makes me appreciate him more.

I lean on my husband. His mother has Fibro so he had an idea of how hard things can be, but he's since realized that he didn't see as clearly as he thought he had and that actually living closely with someone w/ Fibro is a bit different. He sees just how much this has effected me and is very supportive.

MY PALS HERE AT DS. AND HUBBY. HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR ME ANY MORE.DOES HIS BEST TO HELP ME BUT SOMETIMES ITS JUST NOT ENOUGH...OLDEST SON TOLD ME TO JUST SUCK IT UP AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE (LOL)..TOLD MY DR. WHAT HE HAD SAID TO ME, AND DR SAID TO BRING HIM WITH ME FOR MY NEXT VISIT AND HE WOULD EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT MY PAIN IS REAL. TOLD HIS GIRL THIS AND WHILE HE WAS IN IRAQ, HE STARTED SENDING ME RESEARCH HE HAD DONE ON FIBRO..KIDS THEY MAKE YA SO DARN MAD SOME TIMES..
