I am a 60 year old fibromyalgia sufferer. This condition is making me feel so old. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago but suffered a long time before that.
I feel so isolated although my two daughters do so much for me. It makes me feel a burden on them and they both have their families too.
I want to be more independent but feel let down by the care system.
I am on here looking for moral support and maybe some suggestions.
