Re:Friends who can hurt your feelings/Debra

[Guest guest]

Debra - I wonder if you wrote a letter to your coworkers explaining your

feelings if it would help? Otherwise, I don't know what else you can do

except live with it. I hope things will improve for you.

I know this answer will not help, but perhaps they don't ask how you

are feeling considering the fibromyalgia because it is always a

constant. Perhaps they feel uncomfortable bringing it up knowing it is

a chronic condition you are not going to get well from. Perhaps their

thinking is that being it is chronic you might not want to be reminded

that it can not get better by them asking if you are feeling any

better. Just some thoughts.

Thanks to everyone that responded. Well, it does not matter. I already pretty

much know about these people. Both of them have had someone they knew with FM.

They both tend to want to label people with FM as lazy attention seekers and

drug addicts. I just try not to bring the subject up much. The only thing I

could do to make them understand is to hit them in the knees and shoulders with

a hammer.... (I think that is illegal) lol. Also let them be beaten all over

with a board. (that ain't legal either). So I guess I will just leave it at

that.

Sure is aggravating though.

love and hugs,

Debra V.
