I ALSO HAVE CHRONIC FATIGUE AND FIBROMYALGIA. I SUFFER WITH MANY OTHER SYMTOMS AND HEALTH PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS. IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE MY LIFE AND BE ABLE TO WORK. I AM DIVORCED AND HAVE NO MEANS OF SUPPORT AND MY LIFE HAS BECOME A MESS. MY CAR HAS BEEN REPOSESSED AND THAT MAKES IT UNABLE TO LOOK FOR A JOB. I FIND THE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY ATTACKS MAKE ME UNABLE TO FUNCTION. THIS IS VERY HARD TO ACCEPT BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TO AND BEEN ABLE TO PUSH MYSELF TO DO WHATEVER I HAD TO DO IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. NOW I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO ATAIN THAT LEVEL. MY CHILDREN DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE REAL ISSUES OF HAVING THESE PROBLEMS AND EXPECT ME TO JUST GET OUT THERE AND JUST DO IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ATTITUDE OF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE. I HAVE NOT FOUND VERY MUCH HELP AND SUPPORT WITH THIS PROBLEM WHICH ALSO ADDS TO THE DEPRESSION. THE CONSTANT PAIN AND FATIGUE REALLY AFFECT YOU MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. JUST WANTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
