Jan it's hard. I pushed myself because I had a mortgage and kids and a hubby. I pushed myself till I crashed and could not work. Maybe just maybe if I had listened to my body and slowed down a little I would have been able to work longer and not have had to spend a year in the hospital.

When I would wake up and could barely move my hubby would say suck it up and I would get so mad but I got up and went into work. It wasn't until I crashed that everyone did an about face turn.

My coworkers and family saw the changes in me but since I fought I fought and kept coming into work and going to cheer gym for my daughter and PTA they assumed it wasn't that bad. When I crashed I crashed hard and almost did not make it. They had to see how bad it was then and it scared a lot of people.

So maybe print out some information or share a link on what fibro is and the side effects of the medicine maybe that will help
