When you type the word fibromyalgia into google the explanation that pops up is as follows: "Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues." My body is angry all the time, if I move it hurts, if I sit it hurts, I can lay completely still and it still hurts. Every nerve is hot wired, its like someone poking me with a hot poker repeatedly all over. I wake up in the morning and I can't get out of bed without waiting for the stiffness in my legs and feet to go away. Its like my body decided to shut itself off and has to restart by playing my nerves like a piano. I can't lift heavy things because I have no strength. I can't walk for more than small bursts without crying out in pain. Everyday is a challenge to do anything what so ever. Some days it's not worth moving because the pain is all too much. The thing is you can't see fibromyalgia, it exists within the body. Its not something that is always visible. I can be laughing and having a good time but still be in agony. I've had this disease for quite sometime and over time you learn to ignore it as much as you can. Unfortunately it's always there causing havoc. There is no cure for it, I will struggle with it for the rest of my life. You may not be able to see but it hurts inside of me.
