My husband was diagnosed in September 2021 with fibromyalgia after taking unwell March 2021. Before he took unwell he had a 50 hour week job climbing upstairs very active in house etc to now not being able to work, he's in a wheelchair and struggles to walk about house now and our stairs in house. He's in chronic pain all the time in different areas and chronic fatigue. I just want to do this for my husband, to raise awareness of fibromyalgia and to raise funds for fibromyalgia.
