Hi @shirlarella Welcome to the community. You are not a failure I know it's difficult, trust me I know, I have several chronic pain issues one of which is Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I often feel useless because I can't do half the things I could do last year! But we are not useless, there are plenty of people in this community to help us feel better about ourselves so ask any questions or simple just tell us how you are feeling.0

@shirlarella good to hear from you. So sorry to hear about your mum. Trust me I know it's difficult but try to keep relaxed and calm because as you say it makes Fibromyalgia worse. I lost my grandmother a few weeks ago... I'm trying to concentrate on the good stuff to give me strength.
Remember we are here for you x0
