Why is maintaining normalcy important for me as a fibromyalgia patient?

You need a cocoon of normalcy in order to function on a daily basis. Author and psychotherapist Rachael Freed says, “Everyone outside the patient wants ‘normal’ to return because it’s so threatening for them.”But having a chronic illness becomes the “new normal.” As fibromyalgia expert at Oregon Health and Science University, Dr. Kim Dupree Jones, states, “Most people who get fibromyalgia start to get it in their thirties or forties during their most productive years in the workplace and raising families.”Well spouse Gregg Piburn advises, “For the partner, chronic illness can become like an ongoing spectatorship.

It’s no longer our problem; it’s her problem. It’s very important to band together and see the ‘Intruder’ (fibromyalgia) as a common enemy. If both partners open up while in the foxhole of the war against the ‘Intruder,’ they can’t help but become tighter as a couple.”Solve your problems together.

Your life and household responsibilities must continue, but decide which ones are critical needs (like paying the bills) and which ones are the “wants” (continuing your daughter’s flute lessons). The daily bottom-line question, “What’s for dinner?” isn’t going away. Normalcy also soothes frazzled nerves and the raw edges of relationships.

For example, keep up e-mail correspondence with long-distance friends or an online support group.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
