Suffering from fibromyalgia since July 2020

I’m passionate about free software, open-source and open hardware. I maintain a binary repository, userrepository, for Arch and Arch-based Linux distributions, and I’m a volunteer with Fosshost. Also, as you can see by the avatar I chose, I’m a big The Simpsons fan.

It's been three years since the pain started, and it has only worsened.

Five fucking minutes on a search engine, and the reporter would've found actual medical information about this syndrome.
Things are looking way too dark for me.

I'm feeling even less relief than I felt with the last appointment. Is this bad news for me?

How can you find a sense of purpose if your body and mind take a beating from chronic pain? I began to struggle with this thought not long after the pain started.
