RN trying to work

How do you explain to people that you wake up with pain on a scale of 20 even though it stops at 10, that you do not have the energy to go out and hang out. When it takes you three hours in the morning just to get out of your bed without cringing like severely just a little bit. You have to be at work at 7am and trying to drive your car is near impossible because your hands can’t grip, nerve pain and severe swelling. No insurance so no Doctor. #Muscular Fascial Syndrome #RheumatoidArthritis #EhlersDanlosSyndrome
