Hello there lovelies! I hope that the break in the heat has brought you all some relief.

I think I have just about recovered from our weekend in Bristol.

We all know what Fibromyalgia is NOW, after living with it for a time. When I try to explain it I still don’t know how to give it it a simple explanation that makes sense.

I have told people that it’s an autoimmune disease where my pain receptors are constantly on overdrive so that everything hurts ALL THE TIME.

I have had to accept that there isn’t really a way to explain Fibromyalgia with a short description and have it be accurate at all. Here is my more detailed explanation. I might have to just print out multiple copies and hand them out like leaflets for anyone who wants to know. Feel free to do the same.

F – foggy brain

 

I – Insecurity

 

B – Back aches & Pain

 

R – Rheumatic-like pains in the joints

 

O – Osteoarthritis may show up

M – Migraines or Headaches

 

Y – Yuckiness you feel in your tummy

 

A – Aches and Pains in your abdomen

 

L – Losing interest in daily activities

 

G – Grin and Bear it – a new skill you learn

 

I – Incontinence

 

A – Autoimmune conditions may join the fun

Take care my lovelies, and continue to fight the good fight.
