Thank you for so accurately describing life with fibro. I am now able to dance with it knowing it's moves. Before I was diagnosed in the mid 1990s, it was a fist fight some days and an all out brawl on other days. I am so glad to be dancing now.

Thank you for sharing this with me! The journey from fighting to dancing is no small feat, and it’s inspiring to hear how far you’ve come since your diagnosis. Wishing you many more moments where the rhythm feels right!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad the article resonated with you. I completely agree that more understanding and awareness are so needed, not just for those of us living with fibromyalgia, but also for the people around us. The people who are our partners in this dance, family and friends. Hopefully, sharing experiences like this can help bridge that gap little by little. Sending you strength and understanding!
