Hey everyone! I’m finally back and going to be doing regular posts and updates on here again. I got a TON of submissions while I’ve been gone, so please be patient with me. I’ll get everyone’s submissions up as quickly as I’m able to. :) In the meantime, keep submitting, keep reading, keep helping each other, and keep fighting!
I’ll also be doing regular updates on my other Fibro blog, Fibromyalgia Balance, again. I’m planning on doing an article on healthy eating and exercise and how those two things can help many Fibromyalgia symptoms.
Hope you all are well! <3
I keep my feelings about my pain mostly to myself because I doubt anyone “gets” it. I have pain 24 hours a day 7 days a week. On good days its minimal pain, on normal days its noticeable pain, on bad days it’s consuming pain. I’m afraid if I talk about it I will seem unbelievable to people. I’d rather keep it to myself than have my friends and families think I’m just trying to get attention. But I wish I could tell someone how I really feel.

I feel like an awful person because most of the time I get really annoyed every time people complain about pain, whether it be because they’re sick, or they hurt themselves, or anything. I can’t help it though. I’m bitter. No one takes my pain seriously because I don’t complain. It doesn’t mean it isn’t real. If I said something every time I hurt, I’d be crying all day long.

I just wanted to say I’m sorry for not updating more often. My computer has been broken for about a month now. Hopefully I’ll have it fixed or have a new one within the next two or three weeks. Until then, keep submitting! I promise I’ll get around to posting ALL of your confessions as soon as I’m able to. Hope you all are doing well. Spring is here and hopefully with that nice weather and less pain for us all!
Dear Fibro,
I think we need to have a heart to heart. My legs hurt… my back hurts… my whole body hurts. How about you and your friend Lupus move out of my body? I want to feel young again, I want to be able to move again… chase after my toddler son without pain and crying, go to work and do my job without severe pain… get out of bed in less than 45 minutes. Do me this solid favor? I mean, I never did anything to deserve this?

I dread waking up. The pain I feel before bed is nothing compared to what I wake up with every day.

I got Fibro and POTS at a very young age and can’t help but thank them for helping me and my mother change and mature; they got us out of a mentally unhealthy situation. But I also can’t help but detest them for stealing any possibility of having an education from me.

I got fibromyalgia medication from a friend. I know it’s illegal but I just want one day with managed pain. I don’t know how long it will take for me to get disability or insurance, so just one day isn’t too much to ask for is it?

I’ve started changing the subject quickly when someone asks me “so where do you work? or do you go to school?” Trying to explain to people that I’m 26 years old and am too sick to work or study just makes me want to cry. It always leads to “what are you sick with?” and then “whats Fibromyalgia?”

That does go along with many Fibromyalgia symptoms. Not only does Fibro cause pain and stiffness in your muscles and joints but it can cause a whole bunch of other crappy stuff to happen to the body. Things like: Skin problems, urinary tract/bladder conditions, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and things like anxiety or depression. The only way a Dr. can properly diagnose Fibromyalgia is by ruling all other possibilities out; they have to test you for any other disease/condition that you could have. Try seeing a Rheumatologist or a pain specialist if you haven’t already. They tend to be more familiar with Fibromyalgia and thus have an easier time diagnosing it or figuring out what else you might have.
