FIBROMYALGIA

 I have a chronic illness since I’m 26 years old and I’m 56. 

Illness has a way of isolating us. We distance ourselves from the world and the world distances itself from us.

Not everybody knows how to handle someone who is ill and this enhances the feeling that what is happening to us is out of the ordinary. 

​

So… what now? Let me complain a little bit. Let me whine and feel sorry for myself. This is an old photo of me by the way. A lot of make up and staging... this is not what I look like but sometimes I look at it and I feel the way she feels. Calm, beautiful, healthy and young. And blurry.
