Hello World!
I have always been a sworn enemy against blogging, but lately I have experienced a change of heart. I want to reach out and touch those that are experiencing similar situations to mine. I have fibromyalgia. Three words that are liberating, limitating and incredible.
To me it is liberating, if only for the simple understanding of the unexplainable. The unexplained pain. The unexplained isolation. The unexplained expression on people's faces that simply reads, "What is fibromyalgia and is it real?" For those of you who do not know yet... It is real!
It has limited my life in an unlimited world. There are days when I am metaphorically chained to my apartment. Life is supposed to be limitless and I can barely do my laundry. I am not the only person in this world suffering and if we can connect - I want to blur the boundaries of our limitations and together discover what we can accomplish. I want to shatter the ceiling the medical community places on our "chronic pain disorder".
Incredible. That is the only word that can even give emphasis to the span of emotions that I feel about suffering from this disorder. Incredible is what I feel when I am in my glory and experience a moment without pain, without fear, without complaint. Incredible is how I want people to feel after they read my blog, when they share their own moments of triumph and together we can discover how to conquer this blasted syndrome. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It may not be easy to get there, but together we will reach it (not only in one piece), but as a family.
Please post your feelings, good or bad. It is all part of our journey and I want to share it.
I cannot wait to hear from you!!!
With all my love,
Courtney
