Is the pain ever going to go away????

TOday is my first entry, this is new to me because I've felt like I'm the only person that understands what I deal with everyday. I not only have fybromyalsia, I've been diagnosed with rhumitoid arthritis as well. I'm currently seeing a neurologist because I've been experiencing increased right sided pain in my neck, shoulder, lower back, and leg. Also weakness in my right leg, have to use a cane to walk now. It's great, I'm a 33 year old walking around with a cane. What's next a wheelchair??? {sacasm} Anyways, I'm just looking for an outlet for my frustration, which I have everyday, can't sleep, can't remember anything that I'm supposed to do unless I right it down, can't take care of my family like I used too. My "NEW" husband who married me before I started to fall apart now has to love for the worst because he won't leave me even though he has to do the laundry, dishes, make dinner, take care of the kids, drive me everywhere or find someone to do it for him all while he works a full time job. Can life make me feel anymore useless??

i have been blessed with a hubby who believes me. he can never fully understand but he has come to accept that my pain is real. He helps me when i need and he can now recognize when an activity (such as paint ball) might not be good thing for a fibromyalgia person. It has taken 3 years of me detailing to him how certain things effect me and how I feel everyday. I am 32 year old woman who feels like and old lady most everyday. I am cooping and learning my limitations, which has been very hard to do as I was very athletic and was fortunate enough to play college basketball. I no longer play as it is too much and i'm dealing with the exhaustion of fm as it takes it's daily grind on me. i pray that we all have more good days than bad days.
