Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 My name is , I have been in pain for many years but always managed to work through it. I had been a furniture finisher most of my life and my job meant almost as much to me as my children. My job was how I defined myself. 3 years ago I had to cut down my hours because the pain was getting worse, a year later I had to leave my job. Dr.s keep running tests, they are still refusing to diagnose me, they say that I " could have " fibromyalgia. Meanwhile I'm trying to get disability and my attorney says it may take another year for them to set a hearing date. My family has been doing thier best to help us and my son recieves social security for his disability, but we are not making it. Every month the bill collectors are threatening to take something or turn something off. I try to stay positive but this pain, some days I can barely walk. I can't clean my house so we're living in filth. The worst part is people see me on a good day and they believe that all the other days I'm just being lazy. I hope you all get that when I'm whining and complaining, it's just that. I don't expect any one to do anything for me. I don't want people to feel sorry for me, I just want people to understand. I believe that here you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
