Fibromyalgia Invisibility By Ciardha

    • Medicine

Fibromyalgia sufferers represent over two million people worldwide. It is one of the most misunderstood conditions due to its non-specific symptoms. As sufferers we need support in many ways especially from our friends and family. Never blame us for developing this conditions especially as it gets worse. No, it is not life-threatening but it is life-changing.



Treating FMS is also expensive as it not only costs money but manpower where the sufferer misses work frequently. Studies show treatments are more than USD$393.75/annually with an additional USD$2034/annually depending on severity.

"I wish to help raise awareness & connect people who have it," wrote Lady Gaga, (Stefani Germanotta) on Fibromyalgia.

Some other celebrities include;


Morgan Freeman
Mary McDonough
Janeane Garofalo
Sinéad O'Connor
