I am sorry to hear this. Yes fibromyalgia can get you down and it's a daily battle . I have felt better since going on amtripuline and pregabalin but obviously we are all different. I also have bad days and can't be bothered but I tell myself it's better to listen to my body. Alot of people just forget or don't understand. Everyone else seems to do everything at a faster pace and I just can't keep up or get really tired when I do socialise. I am sorry to hear about your son, it must be zapping all your energy when us fibromyalgia sufferers don't have alot. One friend is better than none and it's the quality of their friendship that counts rather than lots of friends who perhaps don't understand . It's all very well a stranger like me giving advice but all I will say I am sorry and totally understand regarding the fibromyalgia side of things. All I can say is my church Friends have been brilliant. Just remember it's always ok to be you .

@guineapiglover Thank you for your kind words. Fibromyalgia often makes it difficult to deal with other major life stressors. And sometimes not able to put fibromyalgia treatment first. You’ve reminded me to be grateful for for the one friend that is worth 20! My son and I are in process of attending church tomorrow. He is open to that right now. So hopeful. Thank you and God bless you.
