Fibromyalgia gift ideas... Really?

30/9/2018

Comments

 
 About two months ago a I was talking to a close friend   of the family who's had fibromyalgia for around two years at a get together.  I asked how she was doing and we got into discussion about   medicine and in particular emergency medical ID  (I know I'm dull!) .

We also spoke about    a new fibromyalgia health supplement that's been marketed by Ahead Solutions online. She seemed interested and said that she may try the  Fibromyalgia Micronutrients  after payday.   The conversation moved on and I thought little more about it.

A couple of weeks later, a calendar pop-up  reminded  of the lady's birthday.  I remembered our conversation at the dinner party. I wondered if  it would be appropriate  to gift the supplement for her big day (40th). I admit was a little  uncertain to be honest;   although she's a good friend I did think again how  someone with a medical condition   might feel if I were to give them something   of such a   personal nature - no matter how well we get on.

Delighted with Fibromyalgia  Supplement Birthday Gift

I went with it and  packaged up two pots (a four month supply) of the supplement and popped them in the post with a card. I was  delighted to receive a call from her  thanking me for the gift.  She sounded genuinely excited to  try the supplement. She'd not made the purchase due to lack of funds.  ' Let me know how you get on with the supplements.' I told her and  wished her well.

Three weeks later   (last week) a missed call from  Debbie and a follow up text  saying no need to return the call but just wanted to thank me again;  she said  "[...] sleeping better, more energy than I've had in   ages and  less pain."

I thought "Wow... who would have believed it?"   and what a truly  amazing gift that turned out to be.  The whole experience brought me to thinking how gifting something relating to a person's medical condition  - although I think is deeply personal on one level - can  actually  also be   so much more than  a 'run of the mill'  gift. So much so, I would certainly not dismiss the idea  of doing it again. 

I suppose  the  caveat would be that I'd advise  people to really consider carefully the  feelings of the recipient... Is this type of gift appropriate given the strength of the relationship? Is it given with love and thoughtfulness?   How might the recipient  feel to receive such a gift from me?  Could it offend or might they be truly delighted and thankful?   Will it offer hope, help  or both?

So all that said I'm going to unashamedly  add a short list of five gifts for people with fibromyalgia that  could be a really nice  thing  for any reader of this post to gift to a person  with  FMS and who knows may follow up with similar for other medical conditions. I think especially the You ID Me service... after all You ID Me   is genuinely helpful and used by many thousands of people.
