Or rather, the repercussions from the driving became difficult. Once Lupus showed its appearance, driving became almost unbearable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No, because I always want to have the <em>hope <\/em>that it won&#8217;t happen, even though I know that hope is likely in vain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Today I awoke as if run over by the very car that I drove&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>It is never a good feeling&#8230; waking up and left for road kill. Some people reading this who don&#8217;t suffer from these conditions, might say &#8220;Oh, I feel that way in the mornings&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;I know how you feel.&#8221; God help you if you end up with Fibromyalgia and\/or Lupus because even if you think you &#8220;know&#8221; you wouldn&#8217;t know how to survive until you\u00a0<em>know<\/em>. I mean, you truly wouldn&#8217;t based on what you think you know now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lupus and Fibromyalgia sufferers are a strong people. We have to be. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>If someone were to walk even an hour in our shoes they would wonder how we were walking at all.<\/h2>\n<p>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 <em>all.day.long<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s like that for a suffer <em>every day<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; 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&#8217;s because it&#8217;s the right thing to do and it makes us feel cheerier, but what you don&#8217;t see behind the scene is <em>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<p>It&#8217;s a rough way to live.<\/p>\n<p>So here I am, feeling like the Coyote underneath the ACME anvil&#8230; and as horrible as I feel, I have memories&#8230; wonderful memories of yesterday with a beautiful daughter and her children&#8230; and that makes this morning just a wee bit more bearable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Those precious memories are what comforts my soul when my body is burning and hurting today.<\/h2>\n<p>So, if this has been you, please try to have no regrets. Muster through the pain!! We are warriors!!!!!
