Vicious Cycle of Fibromyalgia and Emotional Impact: What to Do
Author and FM survivor Rosalie Devonshire writes, "If you had been a healthy, active person and develop fibromyalgia, the symptoms can create havoc in your life. Your inability to engage in activities you once enjoyed can cause you to become frustrated, angry, worried, or depressed. Your inability to meet the needs of your children, spouse, job, or community may contribute to a sense of inadequacy and worthlessness...These are all normal reactions to the losses you suffer when fibromyalgia strikes. You are not alone, however." |
