I remember once when my dear primary doctor, whom I really like, told me basically to deal with the fibromyalgia and myofascia pain, that it would always be there. (In other words, nicely told me to suck it up.)

My response was that I didn't want to suck it up, I wanted suggestions on how to deal with the dam pain, come on!!! He does provide me with pain medicine, but on my own, I've taken steps to try as many things as I can to tone down the pain and I've been doing okay.

Suck it up, gimme a break. I prefer...try to live in the now and not be overwhelmed by what may be or what has been because really, all we have is right now.

And right now means I'm writing in here and this place makes me feel good with all the caring and warmth I feel from everyone.
