Fibromyalgia can be considered an invisible disease, as there may be no outside signs of it, despite the constant pain. This makes people around you think that there is nothing wrong with you, and yet the disease is there.
Have you ever encountered misunderstanding and negative reactions from people? How did you cope?
How do you usually explain your condition to others? Do you find it easy?
Your stories are more than welcome! Don't be shy - the aim of this site is to let you speak up and help each other.
