I blog about living with the chronic pain condition Fibromyalgia. I try to raise awareness about this often misunderstood and underfunded invisible illness. Recently the lovely Annette from the website The Fibronaut published one of my blog posts: Strategies for coping with a Fibromyalgia diagnosis. http://thefibronaut.co.uk/featured/strategies-for-coping-with-a-fibromyalgia-diagnosis-by-claire-collopy/#fibro
Thanks Annette for all you do with raising awareness about Fibromyalgia
Please help us raise awareness by sharing this blog and visiting Annette’s fabulous website.
We can make this illness visible!
Keep smiling

I have to say, that I’ve not really known about this before, but, I’m finding it is actually more common than I thought.

it really is a silent disease. My sister in law is a bartender and suffers from this. The change in weather really effects here. Praying for a cure soon and more funding.

I know a few people with fibro, it’s so horrible and a lot of people don’t realise how debilitating it can be😦

I hadn’t heard of this illness until a couple of years ago when two of my friends were diagnosed after a very lengthy battle of going back and forth to the doctors. It’s incredibly debilitating for them to the point where some days they just can’t physically get up and about.
