If you know someone with Fibromyalgia, you may be wondering what on earth you can do to help and support them. Friendships are incredibly important and being able to maintain those relationships can make a massive difference to someone with Fibromyalgia. Unfortunately for me and many people with Fibromyalgia, friendships have slowly but surely reduced in size over the years. The constant refusal of invites, short notice let downs, forgetting of birthdays or lack of enthusiasm when out and about can put even the best friendships under pressure. Often I just cannot find the energy to make the effort to get out of the house, there is a fear of feeling ill, being in pain, not getting to the toilet in time and many other reasons to not go out that play around in my head. Eventually I convince myself everyone would be better off if I stayed at home. With the advent of Facebook and other social media sites, seeing your friends out and about living their life and having fun, while you remain in the safety of your own home leaves even the strongest person feeling alone, isolated and ultimately, unloved. If you want to give your friend with Fibromyalgia the support, compassion and friendship they so desperately need, here are 5 ways, I know they will appreciate.
