This is my representation of the challenges of living with chronic pain. It includes the confusion and mental fog from all the pills. It also shows the outside things that I think about that affect my life. I have had chronic pain since 2001. I now have fibromylgia and sjogrens syndrom. A friend of mine says "You don't get it until you got it." So very true. Thanks for your time.




I wanted to take this time to tell you that you have a great talent but I am sure you already know that.I know that you want people to look past the picture and see your pain.I think that is what all of us do.We want to be acknowledged as a walking talking person of society who already gave so much to it that it has taken our health.I wanted to tell you my name is Jo.I am new to this site so dont take that as an insult that I haven't written to you before.I also find my mind in fibro fog.But I do consider you a sister and friend even though we havent met.Here is to you having a better day.Even for an hour would be nice huh?Take care and keep in touch........Jo
Hi Jo. I appreciate the comments. I have always loved art. Now that I am disabled, I consider myself an oil paint artist. I do aa lot of quilting and crocheting also. Fortunately when I was small,my Grandma taught me to do all kinds of crafts. Do you enjoy these things? Are you also a sufferer of chronic pain and fibro? It is hard to find a support grou[p in my area. I have found this site a great place to talk with others. I hope today has found you in great health and jumping for joy. God bless you.
