Let us pour out The Balm of Gilead...

(((((GENTLE HUGS))))) for you Peter.....

I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome 3 years ago, although it took the doctors about 10 years to figure out what was wrong with me, since I had been in constant pain since I was about 9.

It's kinda hard looking back and realizing I've lived 2/3 of my life with this 'thing'. The last couple of weeks have been really hard and I've been cracking down these past few days. Nuno, my boyfriend is a great help but I can't help feeling broken when I cannot comb my own hair or hold up a phone for a minute. Just needed to get this off my chest, sorry.

Thank you Wolf , your support is precious to me.

I know it does and it helps me keeping my mind off the problem as much as I can. It eventually keeps my mind off work too.

Having to admit to myself I can't do or bear what other people my age can, because the pain is too strong, just despairs me sometimes, that's all. Well back to work with me! 

LOL that's a way to look at it Wolf, you're right! But not pain all the time, I'd like just one pain-free day, that's my Christmas wish every year, it's been 18 years since I've had one.

She'll be apples? You mean work being a piece of cake? I didn't know that expression, it's funny.

Hi again Peter, thanks for your support. Hey I have these hard times, but I'll be ok, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger! It's just that sometimes it's hard to cope with this inability to do the most basic ofthings.There's extra-bad phases, bad-phases and not-so-bad-phases; I'm in the middle of an extra-bad one, I know because I've come to the point where I fall asleep while driving and that's the scary and concerning part. But fortunately we're not working on monday, it's holiday here, and I'll get to rest a little bit longer.

You'll be in my thougths too Peter!
