I (28F) have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, gastroparesis, and chronic kidney disease stage 3. I struggle every day with severe fatigue and multiple flare ups a day. I talked to my SO about possibly getting a home health aide to help me with doing the meal prep I need to do and keeping this apartment clean. My SO knows and has known for the last almost 3 years how bad my flare ups are and how I'll sleep 15 hours a day sometimes on my really bad days. He's barely home to help me and when he's home, he's on his phone constantly. He told me getting a home health aid would be lazy and that I just need to get up and do things and I'll be okay... I'm just so tired of dealing with unsupportive loved ones :-( I need help and I even admitted it (big thing for me as I'm severely independent and don't ask for help at all), but apparently I'll be lazy if I get help...

I'm currently losing about half a pound a day since 3 months ago when my symptoms really got noticeable. I went from a healthy 122lbs to now I'm 107.5lbs... I have struggled with anorexia since high school and it took me 3 years to put on the weight I did. Now, due to this diet, I'm barely getting 1,000 calories a day. I just feel and look so horrible... I was doing modeling before these symptoms started and I cannot do it anymore as my ribs are showing! It's really getting to me especially with the struggle I went through to even put on that much weight...
