Do you have fibromyalgia or a chronic pain condition? I bet you've heard all this before - "But you don't look sick?" And "You look so healthy!" I also often get "But you're too young for this?"

It used to annoy me but now I take it as a compliment because I work hard to be the healthiest version of myself I can be, and if that means I at least don't look sick in any way, then I'm doing something right. Because honestly, there are times when I look super sick and go to work looking and feeling like death.

I've had a rough couple of weeks where I got a nasty cold, followed by injuring my shoulder at the gym (with a 2kg weight?!) 🤷‍♀️ which lead to intense pain where i couldnt even move, and then I had a bad reaction to some food which stayed with me for a good few days...

I went back to work yesterday after taking some time off to recover but my body feels so exhausted and achey from trying to live life again.

But as I said in the video, I'm choosing to share these thoughts because I want my pain to have purpose. I want to help someone, somewhere, feel like they are not the only one who suffers. And I want to raise awareness of a chronic condition that is poorly understood by doctors, let alone the general public AKA, Our friends, family, partners & colleagues.

Please feel free to comment with your experiences of fibromyalgia in this post, or share it with someone in your life to help them understand how you feel.
