Today I awoke as if run over by the very car that I drove…<\/h2>\n
It is never a good feeling… waking up and left for road kill. Some people reading this who don’t suffer from these conditions, might say “Oh, I feel that way in the mornings…” or “I know how you feel.” God help you if you end up with Fibromyalgia and\/or Lupus because even if you think you “know” you wouldn’t know how to survive until you\u00a0know<\/em>. I mean, you truly wouldn’t based on what you think you know now.<\/p>\n Lupus and Fibromyalgia sufferers are a strong people. We have to be. <\/strong><\/p>\n This is not being overly dramatic. This is trying to explain just how awful these conditions make a person feel. That burning, aching, worn-out, exhausted feeling all.day.long<\/em>.<\/p>\n You may have heard it said that to even come close to understanding how these conditions make a person feel, is to imagine that you have the flu-with extreme body aches, nausea, (maybe diarrhea), overwhelming fatigue, possibility a fever, and the inability to get out of bed. It’s like that for a suffer every day<\/em>.<\/p>\n … Except that we do get up out of bed and we do try to live life, all while feeling like we have the flu. Sure, we have a smile on our face. That’s because it’s the right thing to do and it makes us feel cheerier, but what you don’t see behind the scene is the struggle<\/em>. Fibromyalgia and Lupus Warriors have learned how to put on a strong front. We have to. We are at the front of the line! The arrows and the flaming darts are all aiming at us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n It’s a rough way to live.<\/p>\n So here I am, feeling like the Coyote underneath the ACME anvil… and as horrible as I feel, I have memories… wonderful memories of yesterday with a beautiful daughter and her children… and that makes this morning just a wee bit more bearable.\u00a0<\/p>\n So, if this has been you, please try to have no regrets. Muster through the pain!! We are warriors!!!!! So, from my pain to yours– Cheers!\u00a0<\/p>\n God Bless- the Fibro-Lupus Momma of Ten\u00a0 Yesterday I did a thing and today I feel the affects of it. Did I know when I set out to drive 1.5 hours (each way) to visit my grandkiddos yesterday that I would feel completely run over today?\u00a0 \u00a0 Well, yes and no.\u00a0 Yes, because ever since Fibromyalgia entered the scene for me, driving… Continue reading Feeling run-over, but with no regrets<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","without-featured-image"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\tIf someone were to walk even an hour in our shoes they would wonder how we were walking at all.<\/h2>\n
