Suddenly out of no where the pain is back and worse than it has ever been. I start a fibromyalgia study tomorrow. Hopefully I get the real drug and not the placebo. I have been surviving on over the counter pain medication and heating pads. People don't understand the pain is so intense it makes you irritable and wanting to hide. Unfortunately I caught a bug at the same time and feel like crap. I have been doing nothing but sleeping and had to actually miss work for the first time in years because of the combination of being sick and in pain.
