#fibromyalgiaawarenessday. There is no cure, it's managing symptoms, you push your body that is telling you to stop. It is not self-inflicted disease, you're not lazy, or unhealthy, you don't choose this. Many with it get tired of the pain & they don't have support, what a warrior you are 💜

It’s #FibromyalgiaAwarenessDay again! Shocking no one, I get to celebrate with a flare this year. I’m in a TON of pain right now and struggling to think straight, but I’m used to hiding it and pushing through, so I’m taking lots of breaks between work today.
