Fibromyalgia: ‘Like a Prisoner in My Own Body! Never knowing What Torture is Coming Next’
Fibromyalgia is the hardest thing to deal with people don’t understand. We asked the question to our online Facebook community “Living with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Illness” that How do you describe your feeling about fibromyalgia?.
Fibromyalgia is a great incentive to live for each day. If you wake up and can move, make the most of it. If you wake up and can’t move, then don’t. Get some rest, read a book, watch a movie. It might not be what you want, but it’s what you have to do for that day. Tomorrow is a new day and may well be different to yesterday. Be thankful that you have tomorrow because many people don’t. I know it’s difficult to feel that way when you’re in constant agony but there is always something good to in each day.
No words to describe how awful it is it’s a living hell, It makes feel like I don’t have a life no more. But we have compiled few of the pain description tell us by our members below.
This is what community shares with us:
