I mean, for me personally, fibro is only one of several chronic conditions I have to manage in my day-to-day life (others include an inoperable herniated disc, as well as microscopic colitis).

You're right: waking up every day feeling as though you completely overdid it the previous day is hard to live with. Before I realised that caffeine was a massive trigger for my fibro pain, I'd wake up every morning feeling as though I'd been in a car crash. Without caffeine in my diet, I now have daily pain that's somewhere around a 5 out of 10; this is my "business as usual", although I still have flare-ups from time to time.

When you're dealing with one chronic health problem, it's a challenge. When you're dealing with several of them, life is damn near impossible at times.
