LYRICS Every day I’m just a little older I feel a little twinge up in my shoulder Icing up my limbs until they’re colder Reduce the burning pain into a smolder I’ve got fibromyalgia I’ve got fibromyalgia I feel a lot of pain but it’s Mostly in my brain I have Fibromyalgia I’ve got Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia There’s something in my brain that makes me Sensitive to pain I’ve got Fibromyalgia Well I think it’s pretty nice To eat turmeric and rice With a spicy Indian curry And I get so much advice And I’ve heard it once or twice About swimming and Pilates and so much yoga (You should swim do Pilates and so much yoga!) Fibromyalgia, I’ve got Fibromyalgia It’s excruciating pain That comes from my defective brain I’ve got fibromyalgia Wed, 14 Oct 2026 15:09:14 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://vid.beesbuzz.biz https://vid.beesbuzz.biz/lazy-static/avatars/eef87ff6-1588-4bda-8a27-4feb5b0c503d.png https://vid.beesbuzz.biz/videos/watch/fde670a3-8d8d-44aa-978d-296824f868dd All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://vid.beesbuzz.biz/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
