Thanks for the vid, my mum has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and i have exactly the same symptoms. unfortunately though the doctor constantly puts it down to my weight which is ridiculous to be disregarded for this reason. Think i may go back and give them a mouthful now! Many thanks

Yes! go back and give them a mouthful, they need to be educated on this disease! The more we stand up to them and tell them about it the more people will start to take this disease seriously! Good luck to you and your mum!

I somewhat lost a friend to fibromyalgia. No, she didn't die... but the stress was too much for her and we lived too far apart.. so she decided we couldn't be together anymore... I'm trying my best to spread awareness, but I'm only one person.

This video say's it all. I am 47 and nothing seems to help.. I felt like I was losing my mind also. It is hard to explain how this disease takes over your Life.I have had a hard time coping but, with a wonderful Husband's support it helps. We try and grab every good minute we can.

I don't know what I would do without his support.

What a wonderful video! Great Job and thank you for brining awareness to this! A lot of times this is used a "throw away" diagnosis and that is terrible! AWESOME JOB! may all that are affected be blessed with peace and comfort!

[ValkyrieRaven]

Thank you for putting this video together. I'm very fortunate that everyone in my support network (including my doctor) fully believes in FM, but a lot of other sufferers aren't as lucky. Peace.

Mark Emmins is Due to release a single " MISSUNDERSTOOD" to help raise awareness .. look out for it .. its a heart hitting song !

Well done - thank you for making this video.

For those with FM and other "invisible illness" - try to find moments each day to self-soothe if possible.

I listen to meditative music and now have a pajama wardrobe :) - laughter helps me too!

Best wishes to all.

Thanks for this video, Purpleflyer! This is one of the best I've seen for fibro awareness. It's very inspiring!

Curlyperm2: My understanding is that fibromyalgia has been around for a long, long time, but it was never recognized because it's only physical manifestations are neurochemical. Even after researches were able to detect neurological causes for things better, fibro wasn't considered for a long time because it had been discounted by the medical community. Finally, a cause is found.

is funny how this fibromyalgia, like cancer and other new diseases were hardly heard of years ago....maybe its all the crap they are putting in our food, like aspartame...GMOs...Flouride in the water...ect....

And also all these vaccinations we have had since a child...they have increased greatly...im just thinking there could be a link???...

i have had FM since a child!!!!

[serenaef]

i have 28 of those symptoms and doctors just tell me that It is all in my head. nice to see some people trying to find a cause

[KlaraLudwika]

having this since 13 years old sucks.

I'm 16 now *recently diagnosed* and it sucks to think that I'll be ill more in my life than I will be healthy. I hate this disease. It's ruined my life.

Only when we are taken seriously, will we ever get the help we need.

We need to get on a show that will acknowledge what this is all about, I have every symptom mentioned in your video, it goes through the whole body. I go to the hospital and they thing I' m crazy, or a drug addict that wants another fix, when I don't even want to take any meds at all because of the way it makes me feel. Thank you for the video...Let's hope that help comes for us soon.
