Does anybody else feel this way?

When I try to tell people about fibromyalgia I feel like I'm just trying to get attention. I'm not...in fact, I'm not one to like TONS of attention. But I feel that way. Does anybody else? And how can I NOT feel that way?

Re: Does anybody else feel this way?

I feel the same way. When I try to tell people how I feel im not wanting sympothy, I just want them to know and understand how I feel. If something does not get done around the house for a couple of days, I just want my husband to know why. He tends to get mad if the house gets a little messed up. Thats why I try and let my family and friends know what im going through, if people stop by my house unexpectedly I want them to over look my house if I have a little bit of a mess.

Re: Does anybody else feel this way?

Yes, I feel this way, too, and consequently don't mention it to anyone, except very briefly to close friends. I try to keep it out of my relationships, which is hard, because I have to hold back a great deal of my reality.
I think part of feeling that way is that our authenticity is doubted so often. It's not a cut-and-dried disorder, it's vague, it floats from one symptom to another, and that's hard to explain to others. I wonder if we feel we want attention because we're afraid we won't be taken seriously.
I also get so sick of dealing with it that I would rather talk about anything else.

I am kinda worried too because I have been talking to alot of women local to me and I realy like a few of them, but how do I tell them I have FMS?

Jeremy

If one of them is the right one for you, it won't matter you have FMS, always remember that...
