On the 12th of May, 2023, join the millions of people around the world who will be participating on this day by holding various events to raise awareness for fibromyalgia, an invisible and life altering chronic condition.
“A voyage of discovery to be as “well” as a chronically ill person can be”
“Now I find myself in a place where I must relearn to control my thoughts and sudden impulses, all whilst being careful not to constrict my creativity.”
“If by chance you picked up this piece of paper. I would like to thank you for reading it and I hope that you related to it somehow”
“There are days I look in the mirror at my grey, pasty, drawn-in face and say to myself “I miss you where did you go?””
“Living with a chronic illness feels like our bodies are holding us to ransom. We get no rewards for our attempts to function like a “normal” person.”
“We are looking for local volunteers to facilitate face-to-face support group meetings which we hope to hold once every 4-6 weeks.”
“In my life, there’s been one stand-out period of significant importance. It defined the rest of my existence. Surprisingly, falling ill, which resulted in the diagnosis of 3 chronic health conditions, isn’t it. However, it was the agitator of my transformation.”
“Receiving my Fibromyalgia diagnosis did indeed feel like “the party was over” looking back on it. It was. It still is to some extent.”
“The weekend I just had was far from typical. I managed to have a “real” weekend, you know, like “normal” people do.”
