For those who have not heard of Fibromyalgia please try to understand, the curse of this illness is that for the most part, there are no outward signs of distress. 

Largely unrecognised in Australia, especially in the fields of research, relief & working towards a cure. I have found information coming out of the USA, where the condition is as well known, as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, to be most helpful.

Here are some websites that may be helpful to others suffering from Fibromyalgia & the carers who want to understand how someone can have unrelenting pain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 52 weeks of the year.

To those who have recently joined the ranks, of people with Invisible Disabilities, BEWARE!! You now have a physical vulnerability, that makes you fair game, in a world where "survival of the fittest" is the first law.


The most informative site I have found in Australia, is:-

ME/CFS Australia (SA) Inc.


The best website on the condition & what is being done, is:-

The American Fibromyalgia Syndrome Association, Inc.

To all those that battle Fibromyalgia & other debilitating illnesses, take heart in the fact you made it through yesterday & keep fighting, for tomorrow help may come. I have seen some wonderful YouTube productions which can lift your spirits on those lonely days, where self-doubt takes hold.
