Fibromyalgia Awareness Week
This Awareness Week, FMAUK want to raise awareness of a condition which is thought to impact around 1 in 20 people across the UK. Fibromyalgia can be life-changing for those impacted.
Update
Couple of updates – Not sure who will read them BUT I thought it would be good to get them down. Breast Clinic Surgeon Visit Turns out, same as 2019 – Cysts… (lumpy boobs in plain language) – BUT what a relief… Easily sorted… Painkillers until the pain subsides & they should go away. Although…
The noises we make
I had to tell someone this week, that I couldnt visit them and I couldnt get up their one, short flight of stairs.. This was incredibly embarrassing. I had to meet them in a car park, to exchange some notes about a charity event… That’s how day 2 of painful ( more painful than usual)…
