After reading an earlier post about how a lady gets abuse off people (generally older generation) over her mobility scooter... It made me think...
My situation... I've, fairly recently , been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It all started 12yrs ago, gradually getting worse until about 4yrs ago... Not even 40 at this point, I had a bit if a cry as I was moving like I'd expect to move when I was hitting 90 (no offence intended to spritely 90+ folk) and had alot of aches and pain.. so went to the doctors who referred me to a rheumatologist..long story cut shortish after LOTS of tests scans xrays ect I've got a "diagnosis " at 1st I was, phew... I'm not going mad, it's all real. But, apart from immediate family, I'm trying to keep it quiet as I do feel that people think its a made up illness, not really a "real" disability ect. Been a month now and my emotions are very irratic and I don't know how to feel... I know It's very real.. And don't mean to upset anyone else with fibromyalgia but I do feel if people know they'll just think its all in my head or something. 1st post ever so please be gentle with me ❤
