Sleepless in New Jersey

The time is 1:45 am, and I have been desperately trying to go to sleep. This is day 3 of no sleep or very little sleep. See, I have Fibromyalgia and I ache... boy, do I ache. The pain is awful. Its like having the flu and then some. You ache and ache and the pain just does not go away, no matter what you do. Take painkillers, pills prescribed by your docs... nothing works apart from sleep and which when you have Fibro, eludes you. Its a cruel catch 22 situation.

So what am I doing, well I have read a book, and after I could read no more, I meditated, and after I couldn't do that any more, i facebooked and after that, here I am, blogging about my debilitating disease.... that is exactly what this is dis.. ease of the painful kind. So many symptoms, brain fog, chronic fatigue, pain all over that it hurts when you stand up and hurts when you lie down and basically hurts no matter what... and its frustrating.

May 12th is Fibromyalgia awareness day. And I think everybody should know about it and them may be someone will come up with a cure or at least a way to make this less painful.

I know this is meant to be a positive post, so I am going to say how grateful I am for the internet, to allow me to record my thoughts and allow me to get the message across of what I am feeling and what I am going through. I hope whoever is reading this has learnt something today.
