I couldn’t agree more, Ted. My wife has had fibromyalgia for years and we have been dealing with it as best we can, despite it being very debilitating. This year we both caught COVID…we thought we had done well to avoid it this long … but since then my wife’s condition has worsened dramatically.
She now suffers neuralgia in her hands and feet etc. But even people who have known us for years, including family act surprised when she has trouble walking, climbing stairs, or even pulling the ring pull on a can. My son has given up giving advice such as “You should exercise more” etc. easier said than done. She has faith, but that hasn’t done much good so far.
