It's just pain
Fibromyalgia
I can’t remember if fibromyalgia is me,
or am I fibromyalgia? When did I stop to exist and become this different form of living.
If you’ve found your way here then I imagine you’re either living with chronic illness yourself, or you know or care for someone who does.
So first of all, I’d like to say that I’m sorry you have to be here. I’m sorry that any of us have to be here. The suffering that comes with chronic illness is a pain that no one should have to bear. And
I believe that my sarcasm side showed up to remind me of the most powerful tool I have to deal with my illness: it’s my voice. It’s composed of the ability to find the humor in any situation, a slightly offbeat view of the world, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, topped off with just the right amount of edge. Or in other words, just me.
After the first year or so, of chronic pain I was determined I’m going to beat this thing.
by God, I will . so watch out world. I spun out into a whirling dervish of forced happiness and powerful thinking joking boisterously in the face of this overwhelming situation. Of cause It didn’t last long. Then
It was replaced with a darker side, thank goodness the anger and the mania did ran out; they were just too exhausting to maintain Plus, I had done everything in my power to try and force this condition to leave, or to give into MY will, but nothing worked.
I finally realised that resisting was not working and being furious about it was not making one single bit of difference in anything related to my illness.
Now I’m starting to understand “fibromyalgia” isn’t personal- IT JUST IS…
So I could be angry if I wanted to, but I only had a limited amount of energy, and I was starting to wonder if there were other ways to cope.
So this is where I am right now. I am learning every day how to co-exist with and co-create my life with chronic illness. The ragged, jagged, charged edge of my life has smoothed out a bit, “for today” but the snappy, quick-to-respond, dry amusement with life is still the same.
Sending light , love and blessings on your journey. You are never alone.
Today is a downer..
when the pain from the aching, numb toes is racing the muscle pain from my hip to see who reaches my knee first!!
I “try"not to do painkillers
But , Imagine a tooth ache the size of your body. It’s a
Chronic pain with extreme tender points on and around my body.
While intensity can vary, from day to day. I can’t predict from morning to night if i will fell better or worse . I know better than to get too excited at a no-pain day, so just incase I have my pain meds ready.
I like to entertain my self by "playing chicken” this means facing off with my illness to see who blinks first: the fibro, in the giving of pain; or me, in the succumbing to the pain and the need to take some very strong painkillers.
But most pain is ongoing and severe enough to interfere with my daily activities. The chronic pain related disorders, like arthritis, bone spurs, it’s all related to fibromyalgia, it leaves me feeling helpless.
“Fibro fog” is a common symptom of fibromyalgia.
It refers to lapses in memory and an inability to think straight.
Some days I’m likewhat was I saying? And why am I in the kitchen again?
At times i try to laugh at how stupid I sound , I feel so embarrassed 😣
Im reminded I have fibro when… I smile smugly because i haven’t forgotten that i had to do "What ever it was” on Wednessday…
but doh! I did forget that Wednessday was yesterday! 😳 ( tuck smug smile away for use later)Sigh!
I just finished a 1-hr. search of the house for something i couldn’t find, and then realized I have been looking for an item that i never actually owned.
One of the main fibro symptoms I struggle with is depression, I live to be inside. Lol the outside is not comfortable any more which launched my weight gain.
I know I’ve been housebound for way to long when, after a brief episode into the sun, i pick up my keys to go back inside and then the burn , because I’d forgotten that SUN MAKES METAL *REALLY* HOT
Even the effort to shower is almost impossible
I wonder how i could possibly fit a bed in there, or at least a small chair, because I’m too tired to stand up through the entire washing thing.
And I strongly believe that my right to wear jammies all day should be protected by The Constitution.
As I can no longer wear clothes with zippers, belts, buttons, buckles, snaps, or any other kind of fastening.
I’m just saying 😊
