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
