Supporting someone with Fibrom... must be difficult... I am so sorry that your wife has it at such a young age...

and the combo of Fibrom and CFS must be very painful for her....

I have Fibrom.... and... so can only look at it from my standpoint.. and with the people that love me...

For my son who is 23... I think that the hardest thing for him is understanding that Fibrom... actually exists - he is not being insenistive - fibrom.. isn't like a broken arm that you can see.. and be reminded of... it isn't visual to the supporting person...

So... I remind him from time to time.. that I cannot do all that I used to do before the fibrom.... so perhaps... it will help for you and her to be reminded that fibrom is there... and that taking things in life at a slower pace.. with frequent rest breaks... helps.....

Lowering any stress levels... in your life... will greatly help your wife because... it just makes the fibrom worse - to flare....

I have simplified my life.... to take advantage of all the energy that I have... I have cut out things that really do not matter..

I have found ways to make doing common things easier to do... so conserving the energy that I do have for the things that I want to do...verses the everyday things in life that have to be done..

My doctor.. tried lycria... on me.. and that didn't work... for some people it is very successful....

Massage has helped with the pain of the fibrom....

My best friend... still struggles with supporting me... with the fibrom... she and her hubby have been friends for 27 years...

She has finally accepted.. that my energy level... wanes... sometimes...

So sorry... that is all the insight that I have now... not very helpful...
