This is a short version of one very much longer Lexigram of:

Fibromyalgia Syndrome

A malaise of body...
In rising, I am so sore, agony binds me; I bend beyond my years.
Daily ailing inside, begins,
No end in bearing as syndrome flares, drains me as I labor on.
I moan, I bemoan, as my body fails me some days.
I imagine fine days of no more ailing!
I am sad, angry, mad, dismal, sore.
On bad body days, I resign from normal life.
I sob.
Does my body obey me?
No, sadly.
I sob, and I yearn for an end of bearing my malaise.
I long for, sadly.
as syndrome lingers on and on, no end.
Days, years, go by... agony remains my bride, my groom;
my life in a bind.
A malaise lies, residing in my ailing body.
My limbs are so sore on so many days.
Damn grim malady!
Drearily, grimly, morosely I go on.
My days are abnormal, my arms, legs, brain...
damn, my ears are also sore!
I amble in my agony. I brood, I drool, I sob, again.
Am I dying?
No, I am only in daily agony.
Agony looms in my body
and, soon, my sore areas magnify in my nodes, my meridians.
Infirm, inflamed, so sore, am I.

hey Lexx,

<sigh>

Ahhhh yes, on my worst days I can sadly relate... Your lexigram reads like one of my journal entries.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, I believe, but for the moment, it is the,

"grief of dreams and goals gone..."

I had ambitions which are now impossible to follow. While I do believe that there are other plans the Universe has in store for me, "grief" is the malaise that binds those muscles and fibres for now...

Well done on the lexigram, my friend...

Hello anessene!
Sorry to read you are also afflicted with FMS.
I have several other problems in addition to it.
It is not easy living with FMS plus the other things.
FMS is finally being recognized by the medical community as a real malaise, not a case of hypochondria as previously thought.
Blessings and renewed good health to you my friend.

I will maybe post the longer version...but it is soooo dreary.

FMS and CFS here. I thank God for chiropractors! Without them, I just couldn't manage. But I'm not the world's greatest patient. I missed my appointment this weekend, and I really wish I hadn't! Keep on keepin' on, my friend.
