You Don't Get Fibromyalgia Until You Get Fibromyalgia

A t-shirt says, “You don’t get Fibromyalgia until you get Fibromyalgia”.  This couldn’t say it any better.  You can read every book and article out there on Fibromyalgia, but until you experience the effects of this illness, you have no idea what it’s all about.  Sometimes I wish my family and friends could walk a day in my shoes.  It would make it so much easier for them to understand why I act the way I do.  Maybe someday everyone will understand and support those with invisible illnesses.  It’s just a dream for now.  I pray every day for this dream to come true.
