Trying to do my best as a mother and a wife

But this Fibromyalgia Monster has taken over my life

 

This thorn in my flesh Lord, How can I explain?

I get up every morning though my body is in pain

 

It’s like a Horrible Flu that just won’t go away

You pray for it to leave you but it’s with you everyday

 

The energy’s been sucked out, weakness never goes

Nerves feel inflamed from my head down to my toes

 

Arms burn like fire and what a sinus headache

I feel like I’m 100 but you say I look athletic

 

Now sensitive to medicines, chemicals and mold

Legs numb and tingling and Why do I feel cold?

 

Get worse from the heat till about September

My brain is in a Fog, and there’s words I can’t remember

 

Spasms in my back, my breathing isn’t right

My bed feels like nails as I lye awake at night

 

My muscles scream in agony. Oh my gosh don’t touch!

I take my herbs and medicines but they don’t help too much

 

My immune systems weakened, it seems on overdrive

My vision won’t stay focused and I often stay inside

 

Lights are too bright, noises are too loud

Unfortunately I’ll get sick again standing in this crowd

 

Some doctors say “It’s all in your head” or “Oh, You’re just depressed”

“Your fine, just take these crazy pills and get a little rest”

 

Yes I get down sometimes, upset and so would you

If a truck had just ran over you you’d feel the same way too

 

The attack of my brain is from infection I’ll bet

This is a neuro immune disease but some don’t know it yet

 

Trying to do my best as a mother and a wife

But this Fibromyalgia Monster has taken over my life.
