ok, so my next biggest frustration with this illness, or whatever it is, are my 2 grown children ages 27 and 24. well, they both think i'm the biggest complainer on the earth. with this illness you also have memory loss, yea, they have a field day with that one. they constantly tell me things that they told me before but "i forgot?". yea, well, i know they sometimes just say that so now i think i'm really nuts but its really my children. so, do i really have memory loss, or just mean, ungratful kids. thats what sucks about fibromyalgia is there are sooo many symptoms that mock other illness, but of course i have every single symptom. i'v been a paramedic for 17 years. that means years of lifting very large people, climbing in and out of some very difficult places. so now i'm just a broken down, 44 year old wife, mother, grandmother, paramedic (presently not on an ambulance) who cant remember crap! thanks for letting me grip.
