Share What It Is Like to Live with an Invisible Illness

Fibromyalgia has a lot of misconceptions attached to it. What do you wish people understood about fibromyalgia?

That nobody could fake or pretend that kind of pain from fibro, not even the best actors in the world. Believe your loved one when they tell you how bad this pain is, none of us are that good of an actor.

Also, fibro is like fingerprints, there are no 2 people with the same exact symptoms, because of the 200 cross illnesses and symptoms that can affect each person and severities can be vastly different.

Has any one told you that "you don't look sick?"

Of course, and I say back, "But you don't look stupid"  lol
