"I wear this ribbon because Alzheimer's in in our family, I have fibromyalgia, I'..." (igimom)

"MD Junction is my second home, Where my friends are always ready with advise , compassion and a kind word or two. Where I can always be myself never having to put on a brave face or smile if I don't feel like it.
Thank you MD Junction" (mpmom)

 You could ask them why would you make up such a thing. Who would want to have to redo their whole life and pretend to have pain all the time? Not me thats for sure. I hope you have a good day and dont let the ignorant get to you. hugs

 I usually just tell people "Point to a body part and I can guarantee you it hurts like being set on fire and beaten with a stick at the same time." That usually shuts them up.
May the sun bring you new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night ,
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then,all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world,and know it’s beauty and yours.

 Remember your worst case of flu or cold with body aches and that's how i feel 24/7 times 2!

It's more than 10 words,but it's at least one sentence.

 I don't take the pain meds to feel good, I only take them to take the edge off of the unbearable pain that I'm in 24/7 and that I wouldn't even wish on someone like you to have. I've heard it compared to the pain of having cancer.

 I have gotten 2 a point in my life that I just don't hang around people that don't understand or try to understand my pain. It has even casued me less pain because I don't stress about it. Now I have people ring my phone sometime I answer my phone or door sometime I do and when I decide to answer I tell those people that I don't want anyone in my life thats not out to help me or understand and support me.

 tell them that not taking the meds is like trying to hold your head under water and not think about breathing. It's impossible! Love ya and hope you have a better day. Dont let stupid people get you down!

hugs and kisses!

a day without laughter is a day wasted.
