I'm healthy and active enough to normally forget that I have fibromyalgia.

But when I have a flare up it takes me out completely. I've been in bed all day except for making a cup of tea. I hate it. I have goals, I have things I want to do, I have to be active with my son... But all I can do is lay here and feel the pain. My dog does love the all day cuddles though.

I watched a relative suffer with this.... She said the pain was terrible and nothing helped her . I felt terrible that I couldn't really do anything to help her accept try and make her laugh and do some chores ....

I'm sorry you are suffering with this . I hope you get to AZ soon 🧡

@catastrophecarnival thank you 🖤 thank you for being a good friend to someone with fibromyalgia. Because it's basically invisible most people don't understand. They think you're ignoring them when you literally can't function and then ditch you.

It will be soon. I've had just about all I can handle here 🖤
