- My husband is disabled from fibromyalgia. We're in our twenties with two little kids. I've gotten used to doing 95% of the things that need to get done around the house and with the kids. But when I'm sick it's hard not to resent him. I think things...
- I'm a mom of two little kids and sometimes when I'm in the bathroom dealing with IBS (usually cramping and diarrhea for me) one or both is crying for me to come or I'm worried they're getting into something so I'm trying to hurry in the bathroom but...
- I feel like my husband's fibromyalgia is a dark cloud that hangs over every single thing we do as a family. Things that used to be simple, like getting family portraits done or attending church or a party... they're all hard. Every single thing we...
- I know a lot of you are caregivers for people with dementia, so I thought you might be able to help me out.My grandpa has started to make sexual comments towards me and it makes me feel awful. He's always been one of those older guys who likes to...
- Is anger part of PPD?My second baby is almost 11 months old. I've been on an antidepressant since he was 3 weeks old because I was having thoughts of hurting myself and him. I feel like the sadness/tearfulness part of PPD is well managed by my...
- Does anyone have experience, either personally (that you can remember or that someone has told you about your childhood) or with your children?My son is 3.5 years old. Over the past year, he has had 6-7 episodes. At first I thought he just had a...
- My husbands appeal for disability was denied. Their reason for denying it was so dumb. He had an EEG in February because he had a seizure. His EEG was normal, so the insurance company said he should have been capable of working this whole time...
- How do you keep a marriage strong despite chronic illness?This post will be super long, so if you don't have time to read it, please share your marriage suggestions anyway. The hardest thing for me about my husbands fibromyalgia is how most of the...
- My husband (who has fibro, does not technically have sleep apnea but has borderline symptoms for it) used the CPAP for the second night last night, and today he is doing even better than he was yesterday!!! I have not seen him like this in more than...
- Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to encourage my husband to get a sleep study done. They said his results weren't quite bad enough to qualify for a diagnosis of sleep apnea, but he did stop breathing 5 times every hour and his oxygen dipped to...
- My husbands aunt has fibro, though not as severe as his. She mailed him a package of exercises for fibro from the mayo clinic. He tried to so 2 stretches tonight - the first one is where you raise your eyebrows and open your mouth wide to stretch...
- I was thinking summer would be better than spring, because even though it's hot, at least it's constant. But I forgot about thunderstorms...and we get a lot of them here :( my husband is having a REALLY rough night.
- My husband has fibromyalgia and it's very disabling. People say insensitive things to me about it all the time. I think mostly they just don't know and don't get it. I don't think they mean anything by it, but it's still not helpful. I'm just...
- Looking for suggestions...I've had a headache off and on for the past 8 days. The first day it was definitely a migraine and it was so bad I went to the hospital. Since then it's mostly felt more like a tension headache and I also have tightness and...
- Just when I start to get a handle on things and feel like my life is starting to be under control, something else happens....So in the last 6 months I have: had a baby (and I'm raising a toddler), had post-partum depression, had breast feeding...
