CHRONIC PAIN, the pain of Fibromyalgia is like being crucified daily, but unlike crucifixion, no one can see your suffering... Your ability to live life freely has been robbed & that is the sword thrust in you! ... But, death does not come to relieve... Then there are times when the pain disappears, just long enough to remind you what it is like to live free... Then again! ...the Banshee comes screaming, sadistic bitch! This is my life, Dolly S.J. Piper
