Celebrate Valentine’s Day By Not Letting My Chronic Illness Steal My Joy, Sparkle, and BLISS.

~ Debra Morgan Author, Writer, Advocate ~ Leave a comment


There are many reasons why I have written and published my newest two books.

It was to share my journey of resilience and share HOPE with others.

At the end of the day, I will not let Fibromyalgia define me.

I will fight this disease on the right side and the one that stands for me!

I will continue to be happy and NOT LET TAKE OVER MY BLISS In Life.

~Author/Advocate Deb Morgan



Keeping Up The Positive Fight!

“You have a chronic incurable illness;” those were the words the Doctor told me on the day I found out I had fibromyalgia.

It could be treated, but it could not be cured. Another illness, one with lifetime pain and the loss of strength, eventually in my muscles, which included my heart and lungs. I was damn angry as my life was changing drastically again, with nothing I could do about it. Some nights, I would lay awake in bed and ask myself what I did to deserve this. Of course, the answer was that nobody deserves it.

My anger only served to make it worse.

I would look in the mirror some days and aside from the worn-out face looking back at me I didn’t look sick. A curse had darkened my doorstep this disease was killing me from the inside out. Not literally but more importantly in the physical and mental sense.

I soon found that all the bargaining to try and make a deal with the almighty was being done in my mind over an invisible enemy. This disease makes itself blatantly clear that it is the boss, was I just going to roll over and let it kill me? Should it have the right to define me?

My life may be different than what it was before, but I still laugh and smile. I may not live the most active life right now, but I now enjoy the conversation with my family and friends. I was unable to move through life as quickly as I did before, but now I know the importance of slowing down and not letting life pass you by.

I may not have a lot of good days physically, so I’ve come to appreciate the good days so much more. I may have lost a lot of things in this battle, but I’ve gained a lot of the spoils. I have a new and improved outlook on life because early in my heartstopping diagnosis I promised myself I would not let this disease take over my life. . .❣️


WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY BLESSED VALENTINE’S DAY 💌💘

********

Breaking The Silence by Deborah Morgan is aptly sub-titled Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World. Deb, who has written her memoir about living with chronic pain, identifies that many chronic pain sufferers deal with a large amount of shame and guilt due to childhood experiences and the way society at large and family view and treat those who suffer from chronic pain. She provides thought-through techniques and advice to overcome these feelings and live a successful and fulfilling life.

Being a chronic pain sufferer herself, Deb shows insight and understanding of the difficulties faced by sufferers, be it how to cope with the emotions and feelings that can lead to isolation or how to deal with family members who minimize or negate their condition. The aim of this book is to set chronic pain sufferers free from guilt and shame and cultivate open and honest communication between those affected.

Summer Is In Full Swing and Enjoying It Can Be Challenging Year Round With Chronic Pain For Those With Chronic Illnesses. . .

~ Debra Morgan Author, Writer, Advocate ~ Leave a comment


First, I want to share that I have chosen to keep my Kindle books and the paperbacks on sale through August 18th, 2024 from Amazon, and now that summer is in full swing, those of us who have challenging symptoms from chronic illnesses don’t always have the luxury of enjoying summertime like everyone else, and the activities and places we like to spend a warm summer day like the beach, the pool, or the lake.

Especially when you battle with chronic pain, which most times comes with many types of chronic disease. Per an article in Forbes mag., More than 51 million Americans experienced chronic pain in 2021 alone, according to CDC reports that analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey. This staggering number now supports 20.9% of the United States population alone.




I recently read “The War on Chronic Pain,” an article in the June 2024 issue of AARP magazine and you can find it right here: https://www.aarp.org/benefits-discounts/members-only-access/info-2024/managing-chronic-pain.html.
I would recommend you become a member like I am for their monthly publication.

It is very informative and confirms why I wrote my newest book “Breaking The Silence: Confronting Guilt and Shame in the Chronic Pain World“…can be purchased on Amazon> https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Silence-Confronting-Guilt-Chronic-ebook/dp/B0CW1N55NX/ and was happy to have done so.

If you face chronic pain challenges, I hope you consider checking out my new book ‘Breaking The Silence’ and see if my shared experiences in the book can help you manage your chronic pain and much more. If you do read my books?

I hope you will consider leaving a rating and review on Amazon for each book which would be appreciated. I am writing a third book, so your reviews help me know what readers want within these topics I write about…

Thanks for your visit!

Here is what the book influencers of Readers Favorite had to share in a 5-star Book Review about “Graceful Agony“…

“Reviewed by Maria Victoria Beltran for Readers’ Favorite Graceful Agony: An Intimate Memoir of Living with Fibro & Chronic Fatigue is a heart-wrenching memoir by Debra Morgan. Living with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, Morgan takes us on an intimate journey of how the disease has transformed her life. Raised by her grandmother and feeling unwanted by her parents, she suffered from childhood trauma and had a long history of illness as a child.

In her early twenties, she had two kids and became a single mother a few years later. She got married in 2000 and moved with her family to Arizona. Constantly feeling exhausted and sick, she couldn’t work. After several medical tests, she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. She was also diagnosed with epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and other blood disorders. After several trips to specialists, she was ultimately diagnosed with fibromyalgia. This means she has to cope with constant pain and discomfort but is determined to live gracefully.

Debra Morgan’s Graceful Agony is an inspiring book written to bring more awareness about fibromyalgia and support others afflicted with the disease so they will not feel isolated and alone. What stands out about this memoir is the honesty and determination of Morgan to shed light on the challenges of living with this disease and to cope with the pain and discomfort graciously.

Drawing from personal experience, the story is credible and impactful. It’s also timely and relevant because fibromyalgia is a chronic disease affecting millions. I highly recommend this memoir to anyone with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue or those who want to understand this disease better.

So, if you or someone you care about battles this chronic illness, please gift them a copy of my book as a holiday gift. It is also available in paperback and within Kindle Unlimited for members to read free.



ABOUT MY BOOK:

“In the pages of ‘Graceful Agony’ is a beautifully written journey of deep and intimate memoirs soon after the authors’ diagnosis with Fibro, chronic pain, and fatigue. It is a memoir filled with pure perseverance and inspiration.”

As per “National Fibromyalgia Association,” fibromyalgia is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases. In America, an average of ten million people yearly suffer from this disease. It counts for 6-10% of our population, with women making up 75% of this statistic. Deb Morgan aims to change this dynamic.

In what seemed like a blink of an eye, her life as she knew it was over. In this book, the author shows us the path through a relentless battle for some normalcy in a new life of illnesses. Just as her days turn into years of constant pain and grinding fatigue, the continuing challenges of living with an ever-evolving way of life. She shares that being diagnosed with Fibro, chronic pain, and fatigue is not a death sentence. Through her experiences living with Fibro since 2005, she shares many vital messages and her deepest thoughts and memoirs about living with this disease.

Readers will be inspired by her triumphs, perseverance, and advocacy, and her intentions and goals in writing this book are to help others with support; it is also to begin a conversation to bring more awareness about fibro while sharing with others that you are not alone, you are not another statistic, and you no longer need to suffer in silence.
