No support dealing with Fibromyalgia

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and chron’s disease over ten years ago and was told I had to stop working! At the time I was in charge of all departments for Goodwill Industries, raising six kids and dealing with my mothers cancer and thrombosis. Since then I have lost my mom (my only true parent). Neither sister has stayed in touch or returned phone calls’! Yet if anyone in the family has any major problem in life, I am the one person they all call! Including cousins that are fifteen plus years older than me! I feel so isolated! I also feel as if I gave up my life to do for everyone else in the world! Yet I can not seem to get anyone in my life to think of me first! Just feel as if I have no purpose in life other than being in the same spot, so when everyone needs something. I am there!?

I understand. I'm the one who is called on for the real problems. Yet I'm shunned for my willingness to cross into territory they are not. You are not alone. Continue on.

Fibromyalgia is tough as hell !! Makes life so so hard because you don't wanna give in to it 😔 not giving in seem make symptoms worse and then it flares up . Totally understand your struggles , don't look sick so it can't be that bad I hate it xx
