Ache.
Terrible ache.
It’s tearing me apart.
It bites without warning.
It slices sinew and ligament.
It claws at raw joints and tendons.
It rips apart my insides with its jagged fingers.
It strangles nerves with its barbed grasp.
It crushes bones inside its spiny clutches.
It viciously thrusts its feral talons into tender muscles.
Ache.
Terrible ache.
It’s tearing me apart.
Pretending to be a functioning adult is exhausting 
And no one can fully understand the agony it puts you through. Wishing you well.

Your words echo your pain perfectly. I have fibromyalgia and some days this is exactly what it feels like. I hope you find some relief from your pain.
