1000% fibromyalgia is the “ invisible “ disease and I’ve become so isolated and even given up on explaining about why I hurt or can’t do certain things My mental health has gotten worse and worse

I am so sorry you're experiencing this. It is important to understand that pain is not normal or natural for us. There is a cause. It is also important to understand that our brains can form neuropathways that support this pain loop when we have been in it for too long. Pain is caused by inflammation, which is caused by an irritation. Typically toxins like heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis. So your healing path will need to include cell detoxification, nourishing and mental/emotional retraining. 💕

I used to get looks too, when I used the electric cart in the store, etc. But since I started using a cane, I no longer get the looks. It took me 3 years after my diagnosis to accept my limitations. Occasionally I would push myself to do something but always paid for it later with more pain. I no longer care what people think or say. With age comes wisdom. Took me a long time to get there though.

Its very difficult for me. I used to be a dancer and in my heart I still am... But my body won't let me. I started doing aquatic therapy recently and when I am in the water, it feels like I am Dancing again.
