Fibromyalgia and Time

Sure, people know I’m in pain pretty much all the time. However, it’s easy to underestimate the other aspects of a chronic illness. I wish I could express how much time it takes to be sick all the time. For a lot of people this means extra doctor appointments with less energy. It means extra work to pay medical bills. I look at other people my age and besides their energy I really envy all of the free time they have when mine is usually eaten up by pain or trying to just catch up at work. I picture everyone else smoking la flor dominicana on a beach but I know all 30 somethings are busy.
What are the things about fibromyalgia that no one else seems to understand?
