Please help, what can i do to get my spouse to understand about my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome?

Good luck: That is a really tough question. You need to sit down with him and explain how it is to experience chronic issues with pain and fatigue that meds cannot cure. That said, it is very difficult for someone who does not have fm to understand what you go through.

RU being treated?: If you are receiving treatment for this disabling condition, ask your husband to go with you to your next appt. Your doc can help him realise that it's a serious chronic illllness.

Easily: To rapidly educate anyone about the misery suffered with #fibromyalgia send them out to several internet support groups for about an hour. Hopefully they do not come back with nightmares about anyone close to them and who has fibromyalgia.
