It is not pretend it is not fake it is not in the mind it is in the body it is real it is there do not call me a liar do not say I am faking you do not understand therefore you cannot accept
Our nerves are always hurting are muscles are constantly seizing are bones constantly swelling and in pain These are the signs remember them
Some of us can walk some of us can move some of us are stuck some of us cannot some of us have it easy meds are helping some of us are not so lucky meds are failing
For me I'm the ladder I am stuck I am in pain meds do nothing This is just how it is this is how it will always be Remember this condition is real and it is not fake

I wrote this to remind people that those of us who have fibromyalgia should not be ignored and then we should not be told that we are Liars are pretending just because you do not know about the condition does not mean it does not exist we do have days that we can move around and walk with ease but we have for many more of those days when we are in constant pain I am tired of people assuming that I am all right when I am not tired of people calling me a liar or bartender just because they don't know and don't want to take the time to learn
