PixieMoon – P rose

Artist: Jo from PixieMoon

Title of Piece: P rose

About the Artist:  Self taught, in all levels!

My artistic field has been around since I was a kid, dabbling in all sorts for decades, starting with abstract arts, and prose.

I have never had any formal training in anything I have done or do, I love the fact I am completely self taught, so it is a challenge and a experience everything I gain and learn!

As for the pain front, I am 37 years old, and I was born with Fibromyalgia, I was shipped back and forth to doctors, and specialists as a child, with the same old reason coming back, it was growing pains. It wasn’t until I was 19 years old, that I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and not after numerous diagnoses and wrong treatments! I used to call my pains, *mini arthritis* as a kid, and teen, I was far from the truth, I knew there was something wrong.

So now, 37 years later I still suffer, varying in degrees, some days worse than others. But you survive. And no one knows your body, better than yourself. I know when I have done too much, and what I need to do. It is a hard slog, but it certainly not a death sentence, unless that person chooses it to be. 

About the Piece: Sometimes things consume…but even in the darkness, there is beauty.
