I’m so sick of people (like my sister) telling me I just need to exercise more or stretch and all my pain is because of something I’m not doing. What can I even say with out brining up my disease?

I go through the same thing so what I tell them is too read up on my diagnosis and understand the pain because fibromyalgia😥 comes with other diagnoses also.. The only person that will understand is ppl going through it like us..😥
