Today is fibromyalgia awareness day. Fibromyalgia is one of the most common conditions causing chronic pain. It also causes severe fatigue, and it interferes with your ability to sleep. It's hard to diagnose, so solid statistics on prevalence are hard to come by, but the estimates suggest that somewhere between 3% and 10% of the population have it -- which means that everyone knows someone who has it. Even you. Cos now, you know me. ~grin~
Lord have mercy on me, a sinner.

I was just recently diagnosed, after seven years of mystery pain and fatigue. It's very yucky. {{{hugs}}}
