Fibromyalgia is a long-term (chronic) condition that can cause widespread pain and tenderness over the body.  As well as acute pain individuals can also suffer from chronic fatigue, anxiety & depression and severe headaches. Currently there is no cure for Fibromyalgia.  Sufferers have to find methods to deal with the pain they live with.

Fibromyalgia is a condition that my sister suffers with. She went through her school and uni years with continuous problems until finally a diagnosis was made years later. Although there was no cure, she finally knew what was causing the pain. My sister manages to work full time but I know it is a struggle for her as she often feels so poorly. As an unseen condition people may not know how poorly she is.

I'm running Chester Marathon to help raise awareness of the condition and the profile of Fibromyalgia Action UK and to raise some money for the charity.
