I told this male friend of mine NO I wasn't doing what he wanted me to do and that was that.
Secondly I have a new doctor that I just love and this guy works with me.

Congratulations, Hara! Good for you. I'm also glad you have a doctor that will work with you. That's very important. Thanks for the good news!

This is great news! Most of us have spent our lives putting everyone else first, and taking caring of everyone but ourselves. It's time we look out for ourselves. It is the only way we have a chance to cope with the limitations of fibro. Good for you and great job on being an advocate for yourself and getting a new doctor!

Thanks everyone. It has been a long road. And it is still going to be a long road. I am re-applying for SSI again. OMG..... I guess it's better than giving up.

Congrats Hara =) I am very proud of you. WE need to know our limits and I am very glad you knew yours and was able to speak up. WE need to take care of our needs, especially with Fibro, as we need to set limitations to prevent and/or not to have so many bad days.
I am proud of you. Good luck on the SSI.

Thanks psygirl6 and everyone, Some people just don't understand Fibro even if you try and explain it to them over and over and..... over.
I put up the list from hear on my Facebook page and cited it also so people would know where it came from.
