Fibro Poem
Posted , 8 users are following.
Evening everyone, hope you're all having a pleasant evening. (I am feeling much better today, - thanks for all your support yesterday)
I wrote the following poem just after my diagnosis when I was angry with the doctors who (in my opinion) fobbed me off for months. (I can't imagine how going years without a diagnosis must be - I feel for you all). I also notice a lot of people are frustrated with their GPs so I thought I would share the poem with you all
MY FIBRO HELL
Got another appointment with the doctor tomorrow
I’m sure he thinks it’s all in my head
I just wish he understood the pain that I feel
As I struggle to get out of my bed
From ankles so stiff to twinges in head
And pain everywhere in between
I try to explain how it affects me each day
But he just never seems very keen
I wish he could walk a day in my shoes
To experience how Fibro attacks
From the cramps in my legs to the pain in both arms
And shoulders, neck, hips and back
I wish he could try to manage his day
With the overwhelming tiredness I feel
And if he could experience forgetting his words
He would soon see that fibro is real
I wish he could see the look on his face
As he says ‘results are normal, you’re looking well’
I wish I had the courage to scream
‘CAN’T YOU SEE I’M LIVING IN HELL?’
I would never wish this upon another
But I just want to make him see
Fibromyalgia is very real
And has taken everything from me
Gentle hugs all xx
