Living with chronic pain with such an unseeable, untouchable disease makes it hard for people to put their minds around it and see that you really are suffering every day.

I feel ya on this. I was diagnosed with fibro and CFS just over a year ago, after YEARS of suffering. I had to give my job up because of it.

Anyway, after trying all the meds, I found that the ketogenic diet helped with the pain -- like about 80%. Have a google on it. Good luck. Thanks for sharing :)
