I have fibromyalgia and (sadly) this is an eerily accurate representation of many folks' conceptions of fibro pain. It's right up there with "oh, but you don't look sick, so you must be okay, right?"

I mean, every single one of my bones and joints feel as though they're on fire and being drilled through with power tools but...yeah...I must be fine because I don't have any visible signs of illness.

This fire-body image is scarily close to depicting fibro pain; I'm going to use this when describing my pain levels to folk from this point on. Thanks for this, OP; it's most helpful!
