Obviously, fibromyalgia cannot text the people who live with it, but if it did, it might look something like this. So its a hypothetical type question that we asked to our Facebook community Living with fibromyalgia and chronic illness and Healthopedia to share what a text conversation with fibromyalgia might look like. Lots of people share their conversation and we have compiled a list of few messages for you
Here is what community share with us:
1. Conversation between Fibro and Stephanie Dais.
Fibromyalgia:Â Â “I’m what happens when bad emotions turn sideways. I started when you were very young, and have grown with you. I found exactly the right moment to attack, and I am firmly lodged in your brain and body. And no matter what you do, I will change you completely.”
Me: “Yes, that is all true. You are not my fault, and there was no way to prevent you. I cant remember a time where you weren’t looming over me, and I don’t expect that to ever change. There are days where I feel sad about that, and I don’t want to accept it. And then there are days where I am only interested in kicking your ass. Mostly though, I just blame you for everything I don’t like about me. But I know I will have to work with you in order to accomplish anything in this life. So OK, old companion, I will do what I have to do, because that is how you will cripple me the least. But I don’t like it. And I don’t like you.
2. Conversation between Fibro and Dottie Wingert
Fibromyalgia: ” Hi I’m Fibromyalgia and I’m here to wreck your life!”
Me: , “You may make my days hell but I will survive.”
3. Conversation between Fibro and Catherine Moeller
Fibromyalgia would say: I am changing your life forever. Your strength and energy and independence is gone. You will not be able to do the things you use to enjoy doing. You will feel pain like never before…and when its bad it will get worse. I will make people talk about you, doubt you and leave you. Any money you make, if you can manage to keep a job, will be spent on doctors, medicines, supplements of all kind in your search to get better. But you won’t. And every day you will feel more defeated, discourage and hopeless.
Me:please have mercy on me.
