Suffering from fibromyalgia is a bit like playing Russian Roulette without the dying---you never know which body part will become unusable from overwhelming pain on any given day.

I don’t think people understand the grieving you go through when you become chronically ill. The realization that you’ll never feel healthy again. That you’ll have this struggle and this pain for the rest of your life. That your body won’t ever be or feel the same that it used to. Sometimes I just sit and I cry and I grieve because I miss healthy me. I miss her so much.

I apologize, I forgot to put a trigger warning before. I do mention suicide.

As a chronic pain patient/advocate who is newish but oldish to the game, I have learned that the argument of addiction is the reason people in pain are not getting proper pain relief. And if you are lucky to get pain relievers, it comes with a big, red scarlet sticker saying the medication “can cause dependency” on the bottle... well, think about it: if you have daily pain, you will need daily relief if you hope to live a normal life.

But there is a major difference between addiction & dependency:

Addiction is an insatiable desire for the medications immediate “euphoric” effects, aka “chasing the dragon” which typically lasts all day. The patient may end up over using/taking much more or all of the prescribed amount within a shorter time period.

Dependency is when the person needs the medication to sustain a decent quality of life. The patient is taking their prescribed medications as directed so that their body can function properly.

An example of dependency is a diabetic patient needing insulin so that they can live.

The problem is that addiction is in everyone, and everyone has some form of addiction that is waiting to be ignited. It is a basic human condition to “want more” and it can be a result of MANY things including a traumatic experience, or even the dreaded “peer pressure” during a high-school party. It can happen with gambling, sex, exercising, even food… It is a spectrum. And it is up to the person to determine their path.

We have reached a new stage of our awful human evolution. Being thin is a societal influence, something that people will kill them-selves for, and we now have everyday people using the diabetic prescription drug “ozempic” as a way to lose weight.

Diabetic patients who are dependent on this type of drug are unable to fill their prescriptions because of the high numbers of non-diabetic people using this drug for their personal gain- pun noted.

To be blunt or a bit dramatic, we could say they are abusing or misusing a diabetics drug.

A person in pain asking for medical attention is shamed, mocked, reported, harassed, and some extraordinary nurses have even taken it far enough to record their rejected “drug seekers” walking out from the hospitals as they’re laughing in the background.

We have been waiting for justice for what seems forever, and some pain warriors have even decided death is better than endless pain… there are so many. It’s not just pain patients either, an ER doctor Dr. Steve Ortiz committed suicide, because he was unable to help his patients. He was continually harassed by the ones who made these fucking rules. He wanted to bring light to the corruption with his death, leaving behind his wife and children in hopes for justice.

And now pain patients everywhere get to watch our society do exactly what they claim to hate us for: abusing someone else’s medication…

Self reflection is free, and everyone should use it daily.

The IV hits a certain way

And the sweet violence of my heart beating

Rocks the cavities of my bones

Sweeps the blood cells through my veins

Swells my skin two sizes too big

And I’m a mess again

- Kelly Lynn Curry

I've recently found out that July is disability pride month.

I personally still struggle to apply the word disabled to myself, primarily because of the classic 'not enough' mindset. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few months ago, after my symptoms worsened drastically following a car accident and concussion.

Maybe it's partly because this time last year, most of my body worked the way it's supposed to, minus some pain.

Maybe it's because I can still walk and function, though the duration and frequency I'm capable of has plummeted.

Maybe I would still feel 'not disabled enough' if I was paralyzed. Who knows. But 'disabled' is a word I struggle with right now, despite fibromyalgia being listed as a disability. Classic imposter syndrome, really.

However, it's a lot easier to use the words 'disability' and 'disabled' when talking about my 3 year old daughter.

Not because she's currently, actively disabled in the way adults with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome are, but because of how likely it is that she will be disabled to some degree as an adult.

My 3 year old, who has already had a dislocation.

My 3 year old, who has been in physical therapy since before she could sit up.

My 3 year old, who will most likely be in physical therapy her entire life.

My 3 year old, who won't be able to play the majority of sports in school.

My 3 year old, who will inevitably notice all the things her (fraternal) twin can do that she can't.

My 3 year old, who already knows when to bring me the children's tylenol.

My 3 year old, who is already familiar with chronic pain.

I'll tell you right now, that last one is gut wrenching. To know that my tiny, innocent child deals with chronic pain already... There truly aren't words.
