12th May is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. It is also the birthdate of Florence Nightingale; a notable figure who it is believed suffered from this condition. There is no part of my life, upon which I can look back without pain Florence Nightingale

After my diagnosis, I was looking for help, support, advice and encouragement. I felt alone, un-educated about Fibromyalgia and desperately trying to find a way to live a happy and fulfilling life. All I could find were places that seemed to constantly reinforce how terrible things were and repeat over and over what the symptoms of Fibromyalgia are ... like I needed reminding. In a bid to bring more positivity to things, I launched Sheffield Fibromites; a Facebook page designed to bring together the Sheffield Fibromyalgia community in a more positive and healthy way. Sadly, I haven't maintained and updated it as much as I would have liked and it has had very limited reach. It remains active and I have now started updating it with my blog posts. |
