Fibromyalgia Awareness Day


Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes fatigue, widespread pain, and tenderness throughout the body. The condition affects both sexes, although women are far more likely to develop fibromyalgia. Between 80 and 90 percent of people who get a diagnosis are women, according to the National Institutes of Health. .In addition to widespread pain, fibromyalgia causes tender points. These are specific areas around the body, usually near your joints that hurt when they are pressed on or touched. Researchers have identified 18 possible tender points. On average, women report at least two more tender points than men. These tender points are also more sensitive in women.

You Gain Strength


You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Dear Pain


Dear Pain,
We need to talk. We're just not right for each other. I'm just not happy with you. Well, truthfully your an insensitive jerk and I deserve to be treated better. You're mean, sadistic and downright evil. I'm done.
Signed, Me.

Life Can Change


In the blink of an eye, your life can change due to disease. Your goals, dreams, and priorities are forced to take different turns. You are grateful for the little things, and worry less about the big things. You leave behind the history of yesterday, and determine how you will use today's energy. This is your life, and there is no time for drama!

Swollen lungs


I am quiet most of the time. I just stare and think, My words get frozen within my lungs And I believe my thoughts are deadly And there's probably a quarantine Surrounding my lungs. People tend to ask me, "Why are you so quiet?" I just smile, laugh, and shrug.  I am quiet most of the time But my mind is Loud. My mind is Screaming. I wish I weren't quiet I wish I shared my emotions easily. I do not know how to start. My words get frozen within my Swollen lungs.

Your time is coming soon


I know sometimes you feel like giving up. Every new day there’s seems to be no change in your life. All the troubles of your heart and worries keep on worsening! You wonder why everything is happening to you. You keep on asking yourself why you’re not lucky like other people. You keep on praying to God but so far He hasn’t answered your prayers. Now you have started losing hope. You now think that maybe you were meant to be like that or maybe somebody cursed you. But I tell you what my friend? You weren’t meant to be like that and you weren’t cursed. God is silent but He watches you day and night. He listens to your prayers and He has something special for you. Just stay strong, focused, and hardworking and keep praying to God. Bear it in your minds that you’re not alone in that hard situation, we are all in the same boat of waiting patiently. So don’t give up my dear friend. Your time is coming soon.

Upside down


Living in constant pain can turn your world upside down. Nobody should have to be told to just accept this.
When you see somebody trying their best to cope please don't judge them. Stop and think about how much strength it takes for them to struggle through their days knowing that the pain is not going away.

It's enough


If you’re struggling, you deserve to make self-care a priority. Whether that means lying in bed all day, eating comfort food, putting off homework, crying, sleeping, rescheduling plans, finding an escape through a good book, watching your favorite tv show, or doing nothing at all. give yourself permission to put your healing first. Quiet the voice telling you to do more and be more, and today, whatever you do,let it be enough. Feel your feelings, breathe, and be gentle with yourself. Acknowledge that you’re doing the best you can to cope and survive. And trust that during this time of struggle, it’s enough.

For Once


I just want to wake up and feel like I can win this battle. I want to open my eyes and feel like
my day is going to be a success not another day to face a battle where it's likely that I will not only suffer, but lose.
The odds are still against me. But I have not given up yet, and I don't plan to any time soon. I have all the strength I can muster up, and enough hope to share with the world.
All because I'm living with Fibromyalgia.

I'm changing


I feel myself changing, I don't even laugh the same anymore. I don't smile the same, or talk the same. I'm just tired of  everything.

Try again tomorrow


Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is a little voice at the end of the day that says "I'll try again tomorrow".

I am sick constantly



I am sick constantly.
from just a tiny pain bothering me,  to every part of my body aching so badly that I feel like I could just burst from the anguish.  but regardless of how badly I feel,  I realize I live with guilt.  So on top of my symptoms and pain,  I'm beating myself up on the inside. 
I feel guilty cannot be there and active in the lives of my family.  I feel guilty that I barely see my friends and cancel on them.  I feel guilty that my partner has to see me in pain,  deal with the symptoms and my crabby attitude when I am unwell. but I have to let go,  it's not my fault. I'm living with Fibromyalgia.

You can't see my strength


I've lost track of the number of times in my life that I've wanted to give up.The number of days, of moments, when I felt I could not longer tolerate the pain or keep up the pace of my life.But I'm still here. Don't ever tell me I'm weak or lazy. Just like you can't see my illness, you can't see my strength.
I'm living with Fibromyalgia.
