What people with Fibromyalgia want you to know
Things People with Fibromyalgia want you to know 1. We are always tired. It doesn’t matter if we fell asleep at 8 p.m. and woke up at 8 a.m., chances are we are not waking up feeling refreshed even after those 12 hours. Our “sleep” isn’t as good for us as for someone not suffering from this disease. We toss and turn in desperate attempts to find positions that are comfortable, we take forever for our minds to turn off, and often times we wake up at least once during the night.

Pandemic
We are living in a pandemic. Words I never thought Id hear/say ever in my life. Living in a pandemic is HARD. The media tells us one thing and people start acting out of fear. They emptied the shelves in the stores. Gave people problems for not wearing a mask. Think that every cough/sneeze is from Covid-19. This has become the new "norm" for our society. Covid-19 has changed our lives dramatically. There is so much anxiety due to Covid. If I leave my house, will I contract the virus? If we all have to stay home do I have to stock up? What if people empty the shelves before I can get food and things I need for my house? Will we have to stay home? How will we get through this? If I can't wear a mask, how will I shop? How will I work? Will people stare at me or yell at me for not wearing a mask? It's allergy and cold and flu season. If I get sick will people think I have the virus? How will they act towards me? There are so many things society has to worry about now.

What is health?
I am a 22 years old female, I grew up in the dawn of instagram and Facebook, I’ve been surrounded by social media since it began, growing up in effect as these platforms have. We have the internet which is amazing, we have constant news feeds and a constant connection with our phones that has become so ingrained in us that we no longer think that checking our phones as soon as we wake up is fine to do.
