The diagnosis of fibromyalgia, after a long search and many tests and doctor visits can be a relief, but it can also be a harrowing experience. After my diagnosis, I had fear, sadness, anger, pain, and a variety of feelings. My family could not understand the changes in me, pain, loss of mobility, and debilitating anger. My life was imploding and did not know what to do.
Have you ever known someone who has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia? If you, your friend needs more than you can imagine. Fibromyalgia is called "the invisible disease", which is more difficult and stressful to live with an invisible illness to live with the obvious. How do you react when you see someone who is physically ill? Feeling empathy, compassion you offer prayers and help make your life easier People with the disease even manifest pain, but expands independently visible diseases are taken seriously by others but. . those with fibromyalgia have to prove their illness.
What can you do if you know someone who has fibromyalgia?
* Listen, our lives end up being conducted in a single existence. Our inability to be available appointments and make people out. Give us help to be heard
* Recognize the signs of depression. Depression occurs at a time in the life of most people who suffer from fibromyalgia. Help your friend get the help they need. Fibromyalgia can result in suicide
* Keep your hand or make a soft hug. Tender points of fibromyalgia our bodies are so sensitive that a happy embrace

The goodness of an understanding friend goes a long way to alleviate some of the pain and the addition of the joy of living.
