Fibromyalgia pain: Let's connect

@jesfactsmon You are to be commended for being supportive. I refer to fibro as the gift that keeps on giving. Neuropathy is a tough one. I also refer to fibro as a grab bag. It makes life a challenge. Many are critical of those of us with fibro and I have found I stay to myself more and seldom mention the fibro as the eyeroll thing is too painful. In some ways it is much better not trying to put on a brave face. Can't do it is well these days. The cold doesn't help either.
Be sure to take care of yourself too.

Thanks. At least speaking about fibro seems to have become a lot more acceptable and more people have heard of it. When I first heard Linda in 1990 say that the doctor told her she had fibromyalgia I said "What the heck is THAT?" It was so weird sounding. Now you hear it bandied around more than back then.
So Parus, do you have both fibro AND neuropathy as well? Seems like most people on Connect have multiple things wrong with them, like Linda. Few have just one thing. One more (teeny bit personal) question. Is your Connect photo meant as a joke about covid? Just wondering. Best, Hank
