For the people in your life who don't understand your Fibromyalgia

pain...

Invite them to take

The Clothespin Challenge:

Here is how it works:

Place a clothespin on your finger

Set a timer for 30 minutes

See how long you can bear the pain. Did you leave the clothespin on

for 15 minutes? 10? 5?

NOW. Imagine this pain forever... This should help you understand

what it is like to live with constant pain - but people with FM

can't just " remove " the pain the way you can remove that clothespin!
