notes of pain; a symphony of fibromyalgic songs echoing through the body, clamoring for attention: a talent show of sorts, these duets of muscles and joints singing in harmony, with me punctuating the high parts with screams of misery.

So sorry to hear you are suffering today. Will keep you in my prayers.
Karla, this is the best poem I've seen explaining a day in the life of a fibromylgia sufferer. Been there, done that, hated it, got the T-shirt, left the building.
How amazing that your pen so skillfully turns screams of misery into songs of triumph. Beyond the agonies of the body, and even those of the mind, the splendour of your soul clearly rules:-) Thank you for shining the beauty of its light.

Theragesic works wonders................ask Paul Harvey! [it DOES]
FM is rampant, and ravaging, and I acknowledge your personal hell, Karla. You are a strong, strong woman, and an overcomer...I admire you greatly. [and i love your pic!]
I'll step up my prayers for you...Love & ....a tender hug [ouch!]

The music in your chronic pain. Wonderful example of lemons into lemonade instead of bitterness. Malcolm Watts
Oh Karla so sad to hear you are hurting. It is not easy to face and survive a day like that I know as I have had to face in past and will face again in future. Know that are thoughts are with you.
Sad and little bit chilly when reading but sounds of courage and strength of personality echoe from the depths of this poem. In time you will feel better
