Fibromyalgia as a Soundtrack

It does not sound like silence in here. People assume an invisible illness is quiet, a blank where a healthy day would be. Mine is not quiet at all. It sounds like a radio tuned almost, but not quite, to a station, that low restless hiss with a song buried somewhere just behind it. Let me walk you through the full track listing for an average day, because once you hear it the way I hear it, a lot of my face starts to make sense.
