Searching for Spoons

Too often I hear things from other Fibro Warriors that just make me sad, they stop my heart a little, and make me wish there was something more that I could do for them. Earlier I took a look at my blog stats, specifically at the search terms that bring people to my blog. Seeing the terms that bring people here can sometimes make me really happy and other times make me really sad –today I was sad. Here’s a few examples of the things that made me wish I could do more for all of you. (I’ve provided what people were searching for and -where possible – what they found).

• what to say to someone who does not believe your fibromyalgia pain – 10 Things You Should Never Say to Someone with Fibromyalgia
• boss not empathetic to chronic illness – Do you use your illness as an excuse?
• shes sick chronic, do i marry her – Fibro and Marriage
• having fibromyalgia and having to cut ties with those who continually misunderstand you and put you down
• what to do when you’ve had enough of life – Sunday Inspiration: I’ve Had Enough!
• i have no sex because my girlfriend has fibromyalgia – Fibromyalgia and Sex: The Unspoken Reality
• my wife has fibromyalgia sex is out – Fibromyalgia and Sex: The Unspoken Reality
• he thinks i don’t do anything for my fibromyalgia
• i hate my illness – Things to say to someone with chronic pain

And this just pissed me off:

• ok we get it you’re chronically ill – The Slow Death of Compassion for the Chronically Ill
• my wife uses chronic illness as excuses – Do you use your illness as an excuse?
• husband says fibro fight not good enough – Fibromyalgia and Sex: The Unspoken Reality

But, there have also been some that brought a smile to my face.

And some that just make me say “huh?”

I hope that last one brought a giggle to you like it did to me. I have no idea how that search brought them here (I couldn’t track it down), but I thought it was quite funny that it would.

So, what have you been searching for? What answers are you looking for that you’ve not yet found?
