Thank you for your donation to Fibromyalgia Action UK: it is an encouragement to me to persevere towards my goal of walking 2022km this year.  I know it will be of great benefit to the charity too.

When I was working in private practice as a counsellor, I had the privilege to journey with many brave men and women battling with relationship trauma and abuse.  Often they would be battling with a chronic medical diagnosis too - most commonly, fibromyalgia, ME or chronic fatigue.

I trust that the monies we raise will be used widely to help understand and alleviate the impact of fibromyalgia on people's lives.

FYI Fibromyalgia is a recognised chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. A common illness with an est. prevalence of 2.9% - 4.7%. The pain tends to be felt as diffuse aching or burning, often described as head to toe. It may be worse at some times than at others and may also change location, usually becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used most. Add. symptoms often include: unrefreshing sleep, headaches, irritable bowel, cognitive disturbances, clumsiness, dizziness, allergies, sensitivity to environmental changes.
