[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom has it. She is a complainer in general and totally fits your stereotype. However, when researching my infertility I learned there is a high co morbidity with things that run in my family such as thyroid issues and RA.

My mom has a crazy high pain tolerance which I didn't realize until she walked around on a broken foot for 2 weeks before going to the Dr because it wasn't getting better. I then thought "If you can tolerate that, then I can't imagine how much pain you are in every day when you say you're worn out after work". I think chronic pain for decades would make anyone a crabby bitch - so now I am more patient with her.

Yeah, I have fibro and it can be hard to tell whether you need to got to the doctor or not. I've had a couple injuries that needed treatment, but it took me time to realize that bc I wrote it off as fibro.[/quote]

Exactly! It doesn't help her that she refuses to take any pain meds because she's so afraid of becoming addicted. We have to beg her to take Aleve in advance of a big day out so she can recover faster. We're all getting better at helping her pace herself. She's really fastidious about the nutrition recommendations from her Dr, does gentle water aerobics. However DH and I would love to see her really give mindfulness meditation and/or marijuana a try. I think one of those might really help her. [/quote]
