Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yes it is very emotionally painful. I can share anything with this person but my horror of fibro. I guess she just thinks I am a hypochondriac and accepts me as one. Then again, you have to think, is a friend REALLY a friend if they don't believe you when you say how ill you are????? Oh well. hugs, Debra V. Subject: Re: We ain't all crazy... To: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group Date: Thursday, April 24, 2008, 1:09 PM I have to respond to this. I also have a coworker who doesn't really understand. She told me at an evaluation that she was tired of me talking about my pain. I didn't think I talked about it much at all, except when asked. Then I realized that she would be one to ask me how I feel every so often. Since then, when she asks (which she continues to do even after her statement about not wanting to hear about it) I just say 'fine' or 'good' as far as how I'm feeling. Inside I wonder why she is even asking. Oh well, just wanted to let you know that I hear you on this one! Doubly hard though, is that you consider this coworker a friend. I guess it makes it easier for me since mine is not. Vicki MN > > > I know I have told alot of you that I have a friend at work who I consider to be my best friend. She will not listen to anything about fibromyalgia. When the subject comes up and someone else is asking me about it, she goes dead silent. It really hurts me. She had a friend with fibro and dumped her because " she was always feeling sorry for herself " . You know, friends are not always friends when you think about it. > > Well I got off on a tangent. > > love and hugs, > Debra V. > > > ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _ > Be a better friend, newshound, and > know-it-all with Yahoo!
