Started experiencing pain, muscle spasms, creaking/popping joints, and body numbness around the age of 13 and developed into chronic pain that usually lasts all day. Always exhausted. Hard to function everyday and continually losing will to keep it up. Feels like fighting for your life everyday. Life is hell, life is pain. Hope other people with some of the same symptoms know that there is someone going through this hell with them. Stay strong, and don't give up! I got the rest of my life to fight, and you do too.

I think the lack of restful sleep has to be the worst thing. You can ignore the pain but the exhaustion just keeps you down like no other. I can't remember what a good nights sleep feels like. I hate spending my days off in bed all day because I don't have enough energy to get out of bed.
