The Invisible Disease: Fibromyalgia Sufferers Speak OutSaturday 18 February 2017
From West Australian newspaper the Mandurah Mail:
The invisible disease: Fibromyalgia sufferers speak out It is a disease that more and more Australians are being diagnosed with every year. It’s incredibly debilitating: sufferers often can’t leave bed, go to work or have normal social lives. But it’s also invisible: it's a disease that strikes at the core of victim’s bodies, at the joints and nerves, resulting in often crippling pain. Fibromyalgia is affecting a large swathe of Australians, but community activism is making a positive dent in this relatively unknown disease. Michelle Greenwood was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome – called Fibro in the disease’s support community – eight years ago, an event that lead her to the path she’s on now.
