I am a fibromyalgia patient. It is a very difficult condition to deal with, considering it involves being constantly in pain and constantly exhausted. It sucks the energy and life out of me sometimes, but I keep on keepin' on, and push through as much as I can. There's no cure, but I accept that this is now a part of my life, and I have to handle it and adapt as best I can.
Most people don't understand what I'm going through, and the easiest way to describe it is like having a flu, 24/7. And some doctors don't even believe fibro exists, which makes it even more fun. But I've been lucky in that I've met some amazing people who share this condition, and they are incredibly supportive and understanding. I also have a good doctor who was recommended to me by many local doctors and fibro patients.
But the point of this post was to show that even though this proves to be a challenge for me, I'm not going to just lay down and give up. I won't let fibro control my life, and even though it does have a big impact on me, it will not make me any less of a person and I will continue to live my life as fully as possible. :)
