Imagine never feeling good, when you know of no reason not to feel good.
​
Imagine feeling pain in multiple areas of your body for no apparent reason.
​
Imagine feeling like your verbal and motor skills are impaired when they were fine a minute ago.
​
Imagine having a hard time trying to button buttons, zip a zipper, type a letter, unscrew a bottle.
​
Imagine trying to step up on a curve and having sharp pains in your lower back, hips, knees, and feet.
​
Imagine, being told you're a burden, and accused of ruining lives of those you love.
​
Imagine being forgotten about, because you can't do things that your family or friends do.
​
Imagine feeling like you have missed sleep for a week when you have just gotten out of bed.
​
Imagine having memory loss, stuttering over your words, trying to hide what you really want to say in fear of being made fun of.
​
Imagine something going wrong with your body everyday, when you have done nothing out of the ordinary...i.e. take a shower, do laundry, walk down a flight of stairs.
​
Imagine having uncontrollable shakes and tremors and shocks of pain run through you, and disappear as quickly as they came; leaving you bracing for their return.
​
Imaging having to live a "normal" life in society, yet knowing your abnormalities will alter that "normal" feeling at any time of any day.
​
Imagine striving to be the best Mother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Cousin, Friend, or Wife that you could be and being left to feel like a burden... or merely useless, hoping, praying...wishing you could feel normal again.
​
If you can imagine these things then you have now imagined what it is like to be me. I live with incurable and mysterious illness that have me imagining too.
