my mom wont admit she has fibro mialgia because she thinks everybody who has it?
Question:
Answers:
My mom also has fibro. The last thing she does is use it as an excuse to be lazy. My mom has worked the entire time since being diagnosed.
If your mom pushes things to hard she is going to harm her body even more than it already is. then she will be one of those lazy people because she won't be able to function properly.
My mom works a job that doesn't require her to be very physical, i hope your mom realizes that her denial isn't going to make it better but worse.
Good luck and best wishes for your mom.

let her doctor tell her she has that and maybe she wont feel that way
She can check the web for more info on the disease and may understand it better.
Fibro mialgia is a catchall to describe conditions that are beyond the physicians ability to diagnose. Forget the name and work on the complaints. For example she may say it feels like a band around her head. Then work on relaxing and identifying what precipitates the problems. Stress, allergy, whatever.
A lot of people with fibro take way too many pain pills and nuke their liver. Not good.
Actually, they don't know the cause of fibromyalgia.
If she does tell people, it may let her know other people that have it, and what they have done successfully to treat it. Or, someone may know someone that has it and has been helped.
So, tell her that.
I thought chronic fatigue syndrome was what people thought was an excuse to be lazy.
Good Luck to her. Hope she finds something to help her with the pain.
whats fibro mialgia someone please tell me then i can answer your question
I have fibromyalgia. There is such a stigma associated with this disease and thats why your Mom won't admit to having it. First of all it took years before this illness was even recognized as a "real" disorder by the medical profession! Next, by admitting it outloud it might make her feel desperate. There is a silent despiration felt by people with FMS because lets face it, who wants to be sick? And finally yes, some people who have it or "claim" to have it use it as an excuse to be lazy. Make your mom feel better by showing her that you don't think she's lazy. Show her that your concerned for her without making her feel helpless. With the proper diet, exercise, and understanding FMS sufferers can lead very normal lives! Good luck!
