It comes in quietly
Without any warning
All will be well
Then WHAM it hits
This debilitating disease
It’s unrelenting pain
And the chronic fatigue
Strikes any time of day
A flare sends my limping
To the medicine cabinet
I can barely stay awake
And my minds focus
Bounces around in circles
I feel like it’s me against the world
As I struggle to explain
Another appointment to cancel
Because I just can’t move
Or fear I will sleep driving
And loneliness closes in
Twisting my thoughts
Well I am warning you fibro
I will not let you win today
I may surrender to the symptoms
But I will never give up
Living the best life I can

You’re so brave to stay strong against this chronic illness. Sending you lots of love and hugs
Not really brave, just doing what I have got to do to keep moving forward. Thanks my friend! ❤️
That is bravery in my eyes. Take care.

I can’t imagine what you must be like to live in constant pain. I guess we adjust, but maybe someday you’ll be pain free.
Here’s hoping!
What else can we do? We can’t give up! We keep our heads up and do what we have to do to live our lives the best we can. Hugs ❤
Little by little we keep moving forward. Thanks! 💗
