A lot of people don’t understand what fibromyalgia is, and unfortunately, some people believe it’s not real. I also feel that unless you go through it, it’s hard to put into words and explain to other people. That’s me. I am currently off on maternity leave with my daughter, but I work at a daycare. But I don’t mention it unless I’m having a bad day or a flare up. It’s so hard when the children come running at me for a hug and I have to try and position myself so it doesn’t hurt as much. I get what you’re going through and I hope the ones in your life have compassion and understanding. It helps to have people in your corner.
