Friends, I hope you never have to learn what it is like to be unable to hold a hairbrush, toothbrush, or even have trouble wiping yourself after the toilet because your hands hurt so bad they just stop working. I hope you never learn what it is like to ask your child to open a jar because you cant grasp it. I hope you never feel the pain of loss of a social life because you avoid outings because you cannot stand or walk for very long. I hope you never know what it is like to avoid hugs because they hurt. I am a strong woman, but chronic pain broke me. I lost a number of years to chronic pain as it spiraled downward and became constant. Last year was the worst I have gone through. I am thankful for the medications that finally eased my nerve pain, but I am also aware and understanding for my brothers and sisters still in the depths of daily pain. Please do not be so careless with your words. You truly do not know what another person has gone through simply by looking at their clothes and appearance. Pain is invisible and yet so torturous and disabling. Be aware and be kind.
