"Fibromyalgia sufferers do have the ability to be happy despite the pain. This happiness shouldn’t be mistaken for feeling better or being cured. It simply means that they are happy. They are still feeling pain and probably many other of the Fibromyalgia symptoms, but they’re still able to laugh and have a good time. If relying on a healthy body was the only way to be happy, then those with chronic illnesses would never be happy."
