Fibromyalgia - The Polkadotgals Campaign

www.polkadotgals.com- WHEN you've been crippled by a devastating illness at the age of 32, most people would baulk at the idea of peeling off their clothes in public. But for Bianca Embley, stripping down and posing starkers for a charity calendar - to raise funds for Fibromyalgia - seemed the perfect way to face her fears and do some good at the same time.

I am a recovered fibromyalgic who left the care of the medical profession to discover the cause and cure of this horrific condition without drugs, and am living proof you can cure this and take back your life. Symptoms are mistaken for the cause and treatments that help do not cure. Please, do not be discouraged by failed hope and keep going!!!

Thank you for making FM more aware to all via this Vid. Go polkadot gilrs!!. I will be wearing a ribbon from now on.

I have had FM for over 10yrs and I have heard of some people who have got much better. I have found that I am much better than I used to be but there are still bad days.

I have had fibro for about 8 years but have been diagnoised for about 3 years. I was told it wont kill you but it will make you disabled. Thank god I have sick benifits at work cause I am only at work for 1 week per month. I would go on benifits but I make more at work and I do have sick benifits.

Bianca, Gail, and Pam - Brilliant piece! The calendar and this are both so important in bringing awareness. I wish you the best of luck from "the other side of the pond", and hope that you are all feeling well through the holidays!

Way To Go!
