This evening I went out to dinner with my hubby and 19 year old son and just as we were leaving, it began to rain.\u00a0 As I made my way to the car, those raindrops felt like they were burning my skin with each pelting drop. 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 hurt<\/em>. I have never had that happen from rain before.<\/h3>\n

But guess what? I have Fibromyalgia and I’ve learned to never say “never”…<\/p>\n

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’m being sprayed with fire when that spray is on. I can only use one of those six sprays without feeling pain.<\/p>\n

If my husband forgets to change it before he’s done, I cringe when it’s my shower time.<\/p>\n

Today’s experience with rain took me by surprise. (I was already stiff from the pending storm and could scarcely get up from the booth without drawing attention to myself…)<\/p>\n

Yes, I have Fibromyalgia.<\/p>\n

Most days you’d never know it unless you knew that about me; then you may see it.<\/p>\n

Fibro is easy to hide from those who don’t know you. It is exhausting to live daily not knowing what each moment may bring.<\/p>\n

Today that moment brought rain.<\/p>\n

I once loved a good storm. Now my body knows it’s gonna storm before the radar shows it.<\/p>\n

Fibro. You gotta love it. (Note of sarcasm)<\/p>\n

It’s a daily living experience..<\/p>\n

so, from one Fibro to another…<\/p>\n

…stay dry.
