There are so many different types of pain that it is hard to put them all in one post. I am going to start here with Chronic Pain and the lack of patients being able to live a normal life because they are not able to get the appropriate medicine to help them live a normal, or somewhat normal life.
FIBROMYALGIA-
The pain is Real ! With the pain most of us get Lack of Support from friends and family. Loss of Relationships due to lack of knowledge and understanding.
Here are a few of the things that we do get.
1. Sarcastic and Hurtful words from those we trust and or complete strangers
2. Migranes
3. Anxiety
4. Chronic Pain
5. Confusion
6. Pain
7. Loss of Identity
8. Feel Alone
9. Depression
10. Sleep Disorder
11. Panic
12. Despair
13. Anger
14. Loss of friends
15. Feeling of being a nobody
16. The feeling of being less of a person than you are.
17. Anger because you can not do what you used to be able to
18. Brain Fog we forget things very easily
19. Afraid of being touched because of the pain
20. Fear that you will never be able to lead a halfway normal life again
Please, if you or a loved one has Fibromyalgia or any other form of illness,
try to research it and find out what to expect and how you can help them.
There are so many different forms of illnesses that have all of these same symptoms.
Show someone that you love them. Ask them how they are doing. Ask them if you can do anything for them. Show them a smile. Give them a Hug. Kindness goes a very long way, especually when someone is feeling down because they hurt all over .
Please go to the link and join the group and sign the petition that will go to congress and the president so that maybe we can make them understand that we need our medicine. That we really are in horrible pain. To me this is Abuse, it is abuse from the system denying us a quality life. We deserve it as much as everyone else does.
I had planned on making this post all about abuse but changed my mind at the last moment. The next post will be about Abuse. Stay tuned in you don't want to miss it. You will be very shocked.
Thanks and May God Bless You All, *Cindy*
