I actually feel real guilt over this question. My mother told me years ago that she had Fibro, and I did some reading on the subject, but could never understand the amount of pain that she was in. I was not as caring as I should have been. I also worked for a doctor years ago that had a Fibro patient, he was a doctor that did not believe in Fibro, so we all made fun of the lady with the chronic pain....all in her head. Now I live with this horrible thing everyday of my life, and I feel so bad for not being a better daughter to someone who hurts this bad. You cannot understand this pain at all until it happens to you. Wonder how many of our doctors really appreciate how badly we feel? Maryliz |
