Sad eyes,
Tired & heavy,
Searching... for hope
That glimplse of comfort
Allowing relief.
Release from despair
A longing for more,
Show me the sun, a ray of hope,
I seek the warmth.
Trapped in this Winter
Confined by my body,
I hibernate... fearing the cold
That brings on the pain.
Chronic pain in the body
Imposed by imbalance,
Sustained in this climate,
No rest, no relief, no sun
Only sad, tired eyes.

Dearest Andrea,
What a haunting verse. Very aptly describing
what we who have experienced it, time and time again, can
surely refer to as a "Winter" experience in life.
I hope you have been able to find some winter beauty
despite the cold hard fact of this awful disorder.
God Speed,
linda
Hello Linda,
Thank you so much for your reply. I knew by posting this piece on this web site it would reach others who deal with this illness and let them know that others like themselves face this battle on a daily basis.
Because I live in Canada and have to contend with the brutal weather we have up here in the winter it makes hibernation almost mandatory. Thankfully I can work from home most of the time, so that helps keep some semblance of a "normal" lifestyle. With the help of a very supportive husband and the unconditional love from our beautiful pets it makes the indoor lifestyle bearable and the meds help relieve the pain.
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my message, thanks for caring,
your friend,
Andrea
