Fibromyalgia is painful enough, but it hurts when your friends don't understand.

Let’s face it: having a confounding syndrome like fibromyalgia is baffling to all concerned. You, your family, doctors and other health care providers can’t explain exactly what fibromyalgia is, why you got this syndrome, or how to treat it. It is no surprise that explaining it to friends can be down right impossible. How many times have you tried to explain to friends what fibromyalgia is and saw in their faces an expression of complete confusion? A friend’s lack of understanding can be upsetting, but it doesn’t have to cause the end of the relationship.</EM> Read the rest of the article <A href="http://www.fmaware.org/fmOnlineNewsletter/2007/no2/article_friendship.htm">here</A>. </p> </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BA9BCA85-7484-4651-8F53-1D6CB9FB3CD2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
