Chronic, random, invisible

Yep. That's a description of fibromyalgia. It becomes interesting when it is combined with other illnesses that come our way. I already have an arsenal of meds to deal with the pain of fibromyalgia and many also help with other illness. I have acute bronchitis floating around in my body and the pain med has helped.  The med for anxiety has certainly taken the edge off. The antibiotic seems to be targeting the offensive germs and the requisite sleep has been refreshing. Refreshing because rest is an allowable response to the illness. Now needing rest almost all the time not so much an acceptable response. That takes a  huge emotional toll. Our society is looking for rest and recovery not rest and more rest.
