Hi Rhap! Long time no see. I'm sorry you are having such difficulties not only with your physical illnesses but with your hubby as well.

I think that for folks who have never had the kind of pain we feel from RA and fibro along with all the other wonderful symptoms have nothing to compare it to. There is no way they can really "get" what it feels like for us.

Of course, a little empathy would go a long long way, and unfortunately, I'm not quite sure how to help you with that one. The only thing I can come up with is to take him to a doctor appt. and let the doctor explain what is going on with you. Maybe that could help? I wonder if his frustration over your illnesses is overriding his ability to be empathetic?

Anyway, know you are in my thoughts and I hope you are feeling better soon!
