By the time I got to the vehicle I wanted to burst into tears. It was like I could feel every place the rain had landed on my skin and it <em>hurt<\/em>. I have never had that happen from rain before.<\/h3>\n<p>But guess what? I have Fibromyalgia and I&#8217;ve learned to never say &#8220;never&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I have a shower head that sprays like six different types of water sprays. The one my husband prefers causes me to feel similarly to the rain I just experienced.\u00a0 It makes me feel like I&#8217;m being sprayed with fire when that spray is on. I can only use one of those six sprays without feeling pain.<\/p>\n<p>If my husband forgets to change it before he&#8217;s done, I cringe when it&#8217;s my shower time.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s experience with rain took me by surprise.

It is exhausting to live daily not knowing what each moment may bring.<\/p>\n<p>Today that moment brought rain.<\/p>\n<p>I once loved a good storm. Now my body knows it&#8217;s gonna storm before the radar shows it.<\/p>\n<p>Fibro. You gotta love it.
