So my fam is in town. And they DON'T GET IT! My fam is like "I have pain too"...you can't not work...
GRRR! They love me but I htink that they think if I ignore it it will go away. I WISH!
Maybe they can live with Arthritic Pain and Aleve. I don't have that kind of pain.....
Do they have everytihg else I havce? Fibro fog, IBS, chronic sinusitis, sensitvity to smell and sound and bright lights, anxiety, PMDD (very bad PMS that's outta control), etc.? No. and even if they did....their fibro mnight be weaker than mine or less prevalanet or however you say it!
Each person's IBS is different....well, each person's fibro it too.
I LOOK fine. Helathy. But my back is SCREAMING at me in pain right now! It's telling me I've laredady overdone it today just having people over.
I was considering the possibility of moving if hubby loses his job back to FL. But how can I? They don't make me feel validated (not just in regards to fibro.....I didn't want to tell them who I'm voting for or IF I'm voting cause it's not theri business and I need to have boundaries....and they have a hard time accepting that boundary).
I love my fam. But I need to be able to get the support I need from them....espceially if we might end up livinfg 20 mins away from them. And I like Miami (where I'm from)...why should I have to keep it out of the picture?
Thanks for listening...please help me come up with something...I KNOW there's a solutuion here!
