My Invisible Disease - Part 3


Since, my condition is no longer undiagnosed. In case you had missed it, I had received a Fibromyalgia diagnosis from the Fibromyalgia specialist a few months ago. Now, I feel this blog 'Living In Pain' deserves a makeover which includes a new title. I think 'My Invisible Disease' is perfect for the chronicled journey of a middle aged man living with Fibromyalgia. From here it will be referred to as 'Fibro', it's a lot easier than continuously writing Fibromyalgia.
Since, unlike other diseases that leave some kind of physical trait(s) that are identifiable to outsiders. Essentially, Fibro is an invisible disease with each patient potentially having a varied array of symptoms completely different from one another and most of them invisible to outsiders. Therefore, I feel the new title 'My Invisible Disease' more fitting and for sure more interesting than 'Living In Pain' and definitely more likely to be unique.
As I write these lines it is 4:17am, I am in a lot of pain, however, you cannot see my pain. You can only see the symptom of it, a sleepless night. There are many reasons people may not be able to sleep but mine is because of 'My Invisible Disease'.
