It isn't something I actually "Suffer" with because it has only just happened to me. It's a situation where anxiety & panic combined with fibromyalgia and stress just pounded me into the ground and my ribs collapsed (closed down on muscles & tissues) trapping my nerves.
I never want it to happen ever again. I thought peritonitis and childbirth was bad..uh uh!
So you those of you who suffer with chronic pain have my complete empathy. I had sympathised with you before the bout I had...but now its genuine empathy, and I do feel anxious for your next attack...

And it's not always as bad as what you experienced.
Even a constant ache or soreness that just doesn't stop can really wear you down, mentally and physically.
You are never free.
