ABOUNDING STRENGTH
I bet most do not know
A body could be in pain 24/7
And not just in one place
But from head to toe
The dosage of medication needed
To take the edge off this type of pain
Would put a person in a comatose state.
To endure and bear such pain
Is finding that you have strength,
Courage and a deep passion to survive
Strength that has to be
Dug up from way down deep inside
Courage of overcoming fear
Knowing what will be coming
In the amount of pain levels
The next day and the next…
Passion to fight for life
So that you can stay and be with
Family and friends
To know deep inside each of them
Are so worth the daily plight
Strength, courage and passion
Is what keeps me fighting
Day to day
For no matter what I must endure
Friends and family has and always will
Help me along my way.

Very well written and speaks for a lot of us. Thanks, Lisa and good wishes 🙂
Only the best wishes to you Lisa.
Your writing hits the nail on the head on how I felt many years ago…fortunately, the pain eventually subsided for me and today I can workout once again.
I remember the days just stepping out of my bed shot massive pain beginning with my feet and circulating through my very being. Relief was no where to be found, no one could hug me to make me feel better, that hurt too much. Doctors said I was depressed….you are damn right I was depressed, I hurt more than I have ever hurt in my life and I was a powerlifter (weight training) at one time in my life and my pain was 100 fold anything I ever inflicted upon myself in a workout.
Vitamin D is an important supplement to help the potassium and magnesium get to your muscles….I found weekly massages by a very good therapist was beneficial. She focused on lengthening my muscles and working knots out. It always amazed me how many knots she found in areas that were not really on fire yet. Never ever do a deep tissue massage! I also will continue to recommend removing processed whites from your diet. High protein with slow burn carbs helped me alot.
I hope your pain will subside soon…we are with you in spirit!!
