@kjs831 it’s so hard for people who haven’t experienced what we do to understand. A diagnosis of fibromyalgia at least gives one justification and some people like Lady Gaga are speaking out and affirming the pain and fatigue. Try to be understanding while knowing you are right and they are ignorant or unwittingly believe our suffering. Take it one day at a time!🤗

@coryl i watched documentary about Lady Gaga and her fibromyalgia years ago. In it she was getting massages at home, aromatherapy, etc but don’t remember if she was taking fibromyalgia meds. What stood out to me was when she said “I wish everyone with fibromyalgia could get the treatment that I get.”. Anyone by any chance know what that means? Is she cured or a lot better maybe with functional medicine treatments? It’s inhumane that insurance doesn’t provide what could help people with fibromyalgia. I was okay for a little while. Something works for me, then it doesn’t. I’ve been in a flare up for couple of weeks. I feel like I’m being tortured and punished. I’m so tired, mentally, physically and spiritually.

You would think in this day and age we would live in a society that understands that there are a lot of physical and mental health illnesses we cannot always see. I have a friend who has Fibromyalgia among many other illnesses you cannot see. I told her I don't know how she does it and I have a new level of sympathy for her.
