A lot of partners have trouble understanding the challenges you face with fibromyalgia. How does your loved one understand your condition?

The best he knows how.

How does your partner make your routine easier for you?

Yes my husband is really understanding. He gives me massages all the time, but sometimes that isn't good on some days.

What do you do to help your partner understand your symptoms?

I just leave it alone and try not to get on anyone's nerves.
