Hello everyone. I am new to this site, and I cannot find a place for 'poetry' so I will post my poem here. I woke up this morning with these thoughts in my head...and thought I'd jot them down before I forgot them :)
Youre Not My Friend -- Fibromyalgia
You silently stalked me for many years
If it werent for you, Id have healthy inner ears
You tried to embrace me, I wobbled away
You then became vengeful on a bright sunny day
Youve rid me of work, friends and some family
Youve invaded my pride and mottled my dignity
You now wake me in the middle of the night
With back spasms so painful I cant even fight
Youre not my friend, so go away
You enjoy seeing me struggle every night and day.
Youve caused me embarrassment, strife and grief
No wonder common people find you hard to believe
You wear evil faces from night to day
Ive learned now to see them and hear what they say
Youve taken from me my independence I once had
Its a wonder you dont kill me rather than making me sad
Each day I am reminded of your hurtful ways
You gain pleasure from putting me into a foggy daze
My vision may be double, but I can still see
The vice that you hold which you implant for free
They advise me to get out and then say I am lazy
They are the ones who are sadly so crazy
You must be proud of yourself, you have succeeded
To convince them I am no longer valued or needed
Youve whirled me around until I cant think
I finally stand up but my pride again sinks
I have a poor memory, slight balance and no rest
You invade anyone who strives to be their best
My head and neck hurt and my hips freeze and ache
Bright lights and loud noises send me whirling for crap sake
My mind wants to go shopping, driving and out
As soon as I try, you convey another doubt
Ive tried medications to keep you at bay
But you are too stubborn to allow me to play
I will never surrender to your evil desires
My Spirit is shielded, healthy and admired
You continue to embrace me, while screaming to be heard
I refuse to listen while youre being so absurd
Although you have no medicinal cure
You continue to invade bodies until you are pure
You have no voice, you heartless devil
But be prepared, because Im on the level
Youve chosen me to be your messenger
For this I am ungrateful I can assure
I will not speak highly of you nor smother them with lies
You are the one that I have learned to despise
You have ruined my life and altered my faith
For this you will pay dearly upon my own grave
I ask that you not replace me, as your heartless aura demands
Upon my journey back Home
I will place you at Gods Healing Hands
Youre not my friend, so go away
You enjoy seeing me struggle every night and day.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

Welcome to ds good to have you with us
Those who don't understand FMS called right away...they all thought I was dying. Sheesh!
Those who have FMS but are still able to work and drive, replied back with a short "Cool poem!" or 'Thanks, right on!".
Those who have vestibular diseases and FMS that I sent it to, all replied back fondly and said it hit their heartstrings and they cried. :(
So...I would say that the majority of folks who don't have this malady, really can't understand the severity nor the impact of this beastly invader.
Anyways...thanks for having me here and all of your warm welcomes too :)
