I personally haven't been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I have sarcoidosis which is another autoimmune disorder.

I know how frustrating it is for the "normal" people to look at us as if we are crazy or freaks. I figured I would share this conversation with you - it's good for a giggle at least

I had stage 3 breast cancer and bilateral mastectomies last year. I decided not to have reconstruction and not to wear prosthetics. I had cancer, it's nothing to be ashamed of, right? Well, one day I was in the grocery store and the following conversation took place:

Weird Man: Hmmmmmmmmmmmm (staring at flat chest)....where did they go?

Me: Well Sir, you see, I just wasn't at all happy with them, so I returned them to the hospital.




When we left the store a few minutes later, he was still scratching his head and looking puzzled

The "normals" will never understand us, until they are in our shoes. Until then, we gotta find the humor when we can

*Hugs*
