@karen00 This puts you in quite a quandary, doesn't it? Like Scott said, we cannot force people to acknowledge a condition, nor tell them how to respond. Do you live in an area where there is a support group of any kind? There may even be an online resource for you, with some good ideas. I have several chronic conditions, one being fibromyalgia. I do the best I can everyday. My husband doesn't always understand how it affects me, and it frustrates us both. Good luck, and I will be holding you in my thoughts,
Ginger

@gingerw Hi Ginger, thanks for helping. I have fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and heart failure. I was just diagnosed with heart failure on Monday. So everything seems to be unreal right now. I’m only 61. The fibro is acting up worse than it ever has. I haven’t cried or screamed- I think I’m in denial. My brother acts like nothing is wrong- oh I have mild diabetes. He goes to grocery store and comes home with a cake! Exactly what I don’t need! Oh well, all I can do is be good to me!
