For those of you who don't know (and I haven't been around much lately), I have fibromyalgia. It was described to me once as a migraine all over your body...a very good description.

My mother also passed away last month due to lung cancer. I have been having problems with my family (I am just a stupid stay at home so what do I know when my brother is a doctor and makes SOOOOOOO much more than my hubby? Even though we are very comfortable and want for nothing)

Anyway, I was having chest pains so I went to the doc, then they sent me to the emergency room because of an abnormal EKG. 5 freakin hours in the emergency roon not allowed to eat or drink, poked, prodded etc. finally told it could have been this or that (maybe kidney stones) but basically a major breakdown and fibro flair.

So what am I doing while my hubby and son are peacefully sleeping? I am waiting for the darn laundry to be done so we have towels to use in the morning. I am getting my son's bookbag ready for school tomorrow. I am so pathetic.

You are not pathetic - but you do need to think about taking some time for yourself.

((((HUGS))))

I have a friend who used to be a nurse but had to quit after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Being on her feet all day long was just too painful. She's a very happy SAHM now.

I'm sorry your family isn't supporting you the way you need!! All I can say is take care of yourself and don't let them get you down.
