I have trouble walking so I got myself a scooter and my husband had a fit until I used it on our cruse and found I don't need his help getting around. When we pull into ports I just get off with my scotter and have my own little sight seeing tour. Now he is thankful I have it. He will even ride it once in a while to make sure it's working alright.

I believe that good friends should encourage and inspire each other. Even carry one another's burdens at times. Otherwise, I wouldn't consider them to be a true friend.

I wouldn't share my hopes and dreams with them and there is nothing to envy as they're superficial and shallow, hence I just love people who have real depth and life experience.

When I look at all the things I've been through in my life, I have found that suffering can in some ways change us for the better, as we are more compassionate and understanding which are undervalued qualities and we may have suffered much loss but at least we have learnt to truly appreciate and find joy wherever we can. We may have many broken and scattered dreams but at least we can let go and start trying with something else,Why ? because we are resourceful :-)

I believe your time is coming Lavvi, so just you keep hold of your dreams and when they don't work out, keep going and try again. Find people who support and love you, that appreciate and go the extra mile for you, to help you achieve those dreams x

Hello My Friend, I'm pondering your question..... I think that people can b insensitive sometimes, but I don't know if it is on purpose. I think people get excited about their plans and just share, at times totally unaware of its affect on you. I can't imagine that friends would intentionally want to make you sad, but were you referring to friends or acquaintances? Limitations that our illness places on us can be very depressing and hard to accept. I think it is normal to grieve your "other" life, that is why we must take things one day at a time! This is the life we have now, and it doesn't seem fair, we all have days where we sit and cry and grieve, but we must remember we have FM, BUT it doesn't have us! We are in constant pain, this makes it hard not to envy, but now we must find our "new" normal and learn to live within its peramaters. I hope this helps, you've got a friend in me and others who are here to encourage and listen and pray for one another. I hope your night is relaxing, maybe a nice long hot bath with Epsom salts and lavender and peppermint would b just what you need. GENTLE HUGS, LOVE, AND PRAYERS 🙅🙅❤️❤️🙏🙏. ~Val~

Yeah I know where your coming from and I've let go of all my so called friends who do that, I have a couple of friends I see now and again but like you I'm home all the time so ive no news or dramas going on so I guess people find me boring, let's just hope they don't end up I'll and need me, just try and think positive I know it's hard but that's all we can do
