Curse of Fibromalygia

Hidden curse of fibromyalgia - the invisible disease

I have been suffering 
from the mysterious illness 
fibromalygia

fibromalygia is a hidden disease
many people 
think it is all in one’s head
that there is nothing real
about the fake pain
that afflicts us 

that we are maligners
backsliders 
not seriously ill at all

and most people
think that it is disease
of middle age and old woman
than men don’t get it

and that is one 
of the most pernicious effects
of this disease

I have been suffering
in silence for decades
the disease is real
for me

I have pain 
everywhere
all the time
it come and goes
but is always there

and no matter
what I do
I have not had
a day without pain
for decades now
and will probably
just endure
until the day I die

that is the curse
of this damn fibromalygia
real pain in the real world
but a hidden disease
from the rest of the world

John Hamilton April 30, 2020 at 11:03 AM I have it too and understand you completely. No one can understand unless it happens to them. Sadly I judged someone 15 years ago I thought they were just lazy. Now I wonder how many judge me as lazy I haven't worked for almost 5 years. I do know about something that helps if you want to know send me a soupmail!
