Living with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

Chronic Pain along with fibromyalgia is something I constantly live with. Can’t talk about it to anyone because TO THEM I’m complaining. When really… if I don’t express my pain I’ll hurt more.

I feel you it's like I'm in my little world

Totally understand. I have Fibromyalgia symptoms since my late teens (1987), finally got diagnosed in 2009. I also have chronic back (since work injury 1994) and neck problems (since car accident 2002). It makes things a lot harder when our loved ones treat us like we are either lying or exaggerating about our pain and symptoms. Hugs to you!

Yes I've had fybromialgia since 2008. I've been tested for ms 3 times once 2 weeks ago. Nobody understands they all think that I'm faking it because my sister in law was diagnosed in the 80's with fybromialgia and she's not in pain so I shouldn't be. It's ridiculous really and I'm so sad it's like I don't matter. I have a whole list of autoimmune disorders and I'm just so alone in my family because no one else cares that I'm in pain

Yes I understand and I've had doctors to tell me it's in my head not my body.
