I know what you mean Rain.....
I'm not saying that fibro is anything like MS (a lot of symptoms can be the same though) but, I've heard so many folks with MS say that people don't believe they are ill with it because they "look so healthy, so good, how could you be so sick?". I guess if people can't "see" an illness, it doesn't exist in their minds or they can't be compassionate enough to even try to understand how it might feel for someone else.
I would say that I have mild to moderate fibro. Most of the time it's mild and I can make it through my day without too much hassle. On the days that it is moderate, wooooooah nelly.....it's like a whole different world of pain and foggy brained. I can only imagine having severe fibro....and I'm so sorry you and others have to live with it.....so very sorry.
(((((((((( Pom )))))))))))) Loved the neck rub sweety! Thanks

How I would so enjoy an hour massage, but wonder if I could really deal with it as just touching the skin is sometimes painful

Would be nice to afford trying one out though
Gentle hugs to you both!
