I have firbromyalgia. I’ve had it for years. I was lucky enough to have about a 2 year remission, but now it’s like the universe is charging me for those pain-free years by making it worse than it has ever been.
I am in pain. Constant, unrelenting, major pain. There are no medications that I’ve found that take away the pain. The doc tries different things every few months, but it’s a crap shoot.
I am in such a bad place, mentally, personally, with my career and all the other areas. I feel like I’m totally lost and I just don’t know what to do anymore.
What happens if these continues and I can’t work? Who will support my family then? DH is retired and doesn’t seem willing to get a job. I’m ready to walk away from my job of 10 years, as I strongly believe that it is killing me. I believe that my job has become toxic to me.
The easy answer would be...get a new job, right? It sounds so easy and seems so simple. However, any other employer would not pay me what I make now. We‘re already several running in the red financially each month. If my income takes another hit, were hosed.
However, there’s a part of me that thinks that wouldn’t be so bad. I know I could get “a job” somewhere. It ould just be about a 50% reduction in pay. We would lose our house and every other possession we have. But maybe I wouldn’t be in so much pain. I wonder...
Things just are not working for me right now. Yesterday my husband told me that my pain is psychological. Excuse me? If I wasn’t hurting so badly, I would have smacked him! Why can’t people understand? Just because I don’t look sick doesn’t meant that I’m healthy. I’ve lost 40 pounds since Christmas. Does anyone besides me think that may be a problem? Is it the stress or the fibro or what?
Everything runs and connects to each other. Stress certainly is not helpful and fibro can contribute to the stress or vice verse. I am sorry you are in such pain. It must be hard to type or do anything.
I suggest to take one day at a time. Do not worry about quitting. Do not worry about new job. Do not worry if it will go better or worse. Take the “Now” approach. I know it is easier to say then done. Try to focus for this minute. Calm your spirit and hopefully the circle will break a little at least.
There is a group here for support. I will find and link that for you.
Take care. We understand.
Saw that you are already a member, but for others as well, here is the group link: http://fabulously40.com/group/do-you-have-fibromyalgia
Can't answer your question Hon. Only you can. But we're here for ya. hug Be sure to take care of yourself first. Hang in there.
I don’t know much about fibro but I do know that when you are stressed it makes everything worse. Everything takes longer to heal to re energize and so on. I can’t tell you what to do but from my own experience my stress level decreased when I made a lifestyle change.
Best wishes that it all works out and of course we are here to listen and help you thru.
I have fibro and I understand the pain. I take a nutritional supplement that has changed my life. You can watch a video on the power of Reliv at
