I’ll Try to Be Back Tomorrow

I found out my fibromyalgia is getting worse. It is not just really bad flares lasting a longish time. Today my fingertips hurt so much I am using a stylus to type. There are days I can hardly walk even in soft slippers in my home or hardly stand any clothing much less anything else touching me skin. I am getting more sharp pains here or there on my entire body that come like a knife stab and go away when they feel like it. The tiredness has gone to exhaustion usually by mid afternoon. My sleep is getting more broken from waking up in pain.

I am not telling you all of this for sympathy I am telling my story so others with chronic pain problems know you are not alone and I am here if you want to vent, scream, or just talk about the unfairness of our bodies having to go through this. We are disabled depending on how bad our internal pain is. We are covered under disability acts but many people in society, especially in the USA, treat us like we are fine because we do not have crutches or a wheelchair or walker or whatever someone with a disability might show on the outside.

I am asking every single person who reads this to have more compassion for those with unseen disabilities which can even be mental or emotional alone or on top of chronic pain. Let your compassion and knowledge of these unseen disabled people be a way for you to help teach someone else to be more compassionate and understanding. Thank you for your understanding and support of not just me but others that are unseen for there bodies betraying them or their minds and emotions that may be or all of this happening inside a person unseen but very real and disabling.

  1. I also am disabled. Even the doctors I go to when I have to change against my will take one look at me and tell me they see nothing wrong. It is frustrating! They treat only what they see and couldn’t care less about the whole person.

    1. I’m sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately our medical records follow us from doctor to doctor. I hope you can find one to listen to you. I was lucky enough to have the same family doctor for over 20 years until I moved to an area that was just to far away for her to treat me in the case of an emergency. I search for a new doctor until I found one that practice with an open mind like she did.
