    I have never felt like anybody could ever explain or understand how I feel until I watched this video. I have a rare chronic heart disease and nobody ever understands how I feel no matter if I try to explain they still don’t get it but this was something beautifully said

    God bless you!!! First I want to start by saying you are not invisible!! I want to encourage to keep fighting through the pains. I myself live in chronic pain with no answers so I know it's easier said then done. I have faith that you can do it. I will keep you in prayer!!

      Thank you so much for your support, those of us going through this really must stick together. We are stronger than we think and feel, and we can be there for each other and empathize.

    I have a rare muscle disease. It causes me a lot of fatigue and while I look basically healthy I feel fatigued most of the time. While I don't have pain I still feel like I can relate to you. It's really hard to have a disease and it's compounded by people's lack of empathy and offensive statements. It's like getting hit by a bus and then the bus backing up and running you over again sometimes.

    This made me cry every point in this was accurate for me. I have CVID which makes me sick 24/7 since I have half an immune system, I also have POTS, and Cromo which makes my bones hurt everywhere like needles. I also have EXTREME fatigue from all the pain. And all the ppl out there with POTS, whats up fam lol.

    PAIN
    This pain is the worse,
    Life with it is a horrible curse.
    It won't stop and It will not pause,
    The bone grinding pain is the worse of all.
    When you can't trust your mind and you curse your soul.
    You want the nightmares to stop, the heart ache to slow.
    The visions to quit playing over and over in your brain.
    You feel so small, you feel insane.
    You still see your brothers when the VBID blows
    The sky goes black, the sun won't glow.
    Everythings so dark, and consuming from the pain.
    It's a steel monster with razor like claws,
    It's ripped open my skull and is eating my brain.
    No more strength for the struggle,
    No desire to flee,
    I'm starting right now at the monster that's slowly devouring me.
    Your,
    Sgt Brandon Tull

    Loved it. Ive had leg and balance problems since birth but since I was about 8 or 9 ive been in pain every single day. It started with my ankles and now its every muscle and joint. No diagnosis as of yet. Anyone got any ideas? Its like a kind of pulsating pain thats dull but sharp at the same time. Not tender. Easily made worse by exercise. It only started in one joint and has spread to all joints and muscles and causes fatigue in the past 7 years.
