This Acrostic poem is about the continuous daily struggles of living with Fibromyalgia, yet we always hang in there and hold out hope that life will get better. It is for all those living with this condition and an applause for the strength they have getting through each day. 

Fibromyalgia pain, unbearable at times Is only good for turning in to rhymes Bending is a problem with pain throughout Regular twitches and spasms of doubt Obnoxious frenemy causing woe Morning stiffness from head to toe Yawning constant every day Aggressive and hard to keep at bay Ligaments, tendons, muscles all sore Gastro tracts feeling poor Insomnia making for sleepless nights Anxiety, depression, memory fights Swollen glands, shooting pain Temperature swings, damn migraine Ribs hurt, back aches, itchy skin Out of order, BUT not giving in Nerves all frazzled, Fibro is rough Gives us hell, BUT we are Tough.
