Patient discussion about comprehension.

Q. How do you get people to understand fibromyalgia? I have fibromyalgia. I was wondering how I can get people to understand what it does to me. No one seems to understand how it makes me feel and some of the people don't even believe me that I am in pain. What do I do?

A. I hope you are starting to get through to people. I sent information from the Mayo Clinic website to someone and he said it really helped him better understand BUT I feel a big part of it is education the people around you right along with yourself! Encourage them to read info you have found...print some off if you need to get a book and give to them. Explain to them this is very real and you could really use their support. Support is very important...try to keep a positive attitude and good luck!

Q. My boyfriend understands me when i suffer from bipolar Hi friends, I was diagnosed with Rapid-Cycling Bipolar a year ago. Right now I am looking for some urgent and true support. That’s why I am here in iMedix. I can't really talk to a lot of people about my disorder. The only people that seem to understand me are people who have mental illness. I only have my boyfriend who tries to understand and a friend who is schitzo affective and I really don’t see him much. It would be great to have you people to talk with me. When I was diagnosed I became a kind of antisocial. So Hello everyone, pls help me!

A. Welcome Olivia, pull up a chair and feel free to share whatever is on your mind, ask any question you want to... the people here are open and caring and helpful.
I am a believer that no one can truly fully understand anoter persons sufferings foe everyone is different, with different triggers and life circumstances. All that another can do is offer some of their experiences and thoughts with you. You may find some helpful and others not so much. Try to keep in mind that although not one can truly understand you and everything you are going through they are trying. You have the opportunity to teach the people around you about your illness and how it affects you. express your feelings and your thoughts and triggers etc... give the people around you the opportunity to learn and help you when you need it.

Q. As per my understanding bipolar disorder cannot be treated completely by medicines; As per my understanding bipolar disorder cannot be treated completely by medicines; then what does these medicines is all about……

A. Medications are very helpful in maintaining control over bipolar disorder. I have seen that it is benificial to also seek theropy, theropy helps the person suffering learn to identify their emotional triggers and gives them an opportunity to work through problems, it also teaches them how to effectivly deal with issues that will arise in the future. Group theropy helps the person by teaching them that they are not alone. All of the other treatments, ie. excercise meditation etc... are ways to manage daily stress, it helps to calm racing thoughts and bring the patient back to a calm balance. Medications are a vital part of the treatment.
