I have been diagnosed 9 about 2 months ago) with Fibromyalgi, and I know it can trigger depression, so I don't know if it's the FMS causing it or if I'm just having a cr*p day. At the minute everything seems to bother me and wind me up, and I seem to get really stressed over silly little things.
i am having a few problems with Ds2 and school, which I have started a thread about. I am in the middle of a fibromyalgia flare up and feel like sht both physically and mentally. The pain hasn't gone away for a week now. DH is off on Sunday down south on a course until the 17th May. His mum and step dad are coming tonight, I thought they were going home on Sunday and texted her to check, turns out she is expecting to stay till Monday. I don't want visitors at all this weekend, I feel crap. She doesn't "get" the fibromyalgia at all. I am going to my mums next week for the bank holiday weekend, but MIl has decided she wants to bring DH's old fckin cow of a nan up to visit on the Sunday. I want to go to my mums. I don't want DH to go on this ocurse. I don't want to move house so far away. I don't know what I want, I just feel so down and cry over really silly little things. The DSes are constantly bickering and fighting, DS2 is struggling at school and every morning is a battle gorund with him.The fibromyalgia is getting me down, I've had so many flare ups just recently.

take a look at the supplement 5HTP. it has worked wonders for me. Its a natural supplement but its supported by doctors and its quite a little wonder pill. Just look it up on the internet and you will see what I mean

I'm sorry you are feeling so low, Ive been there myself so I acn understand how you are feeling. I hope you are feeling better soon XX

Hey Saltire. I could not let this go without commenting, after all the support you have given me. I don't know what to suggest re the fibromyalgia or the MIL problems, except that if you really don't want her around, just say so. You might like to tell her you feel ill without explaining it is the fibromyalgia.

If you want to email me at any time while dh is away, please do so. I check my emails several times a day and will definitely reply.

Meanwhile, {{{{{hugs}}}}}
