HEALTH & BEAUTY
over the following few years, experienced puffy hands and feet and a state of dizziness. It took a long time to get a diagnosis and she says most health professionals back then were dismissive of her symptoms.
Since being diagnosed, my friend has tried lots of treatment methods to alleviate pain, such as reiki, acupuncture and physiotherapy which she says didn’t really help her – but may work for others. She is currently trying cold showers which is thought to help with the inflammation those with chronic pain have.
“My condition has always been a wax and wane scenario. I can feel rubbish for weeks and then I improve. It’s the fatigue that bothers me most these days. It feels like constant jetlag. I still get headaches but they’re not as extreme and the pain isn’t as invasive as it once was. My memory is still terrible and I get confused easily. I lack focus and concentration at times and am really disorganised.
“Some days I’m so debilitated by the symptoms and want to be in bed all day. Fortunately my lifestyle allows me to rest when I need to. I’m well-supported by my husband who
picks up and fills in the gaps and my parents have always been great and very understanding. I can’t imagine how those who don’t have a good support system function.”

I have been going to Liberty Physiotherapy now for a few years as l have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. When my pain and tightness affects my range of movements and mobility l book a session with their physiotherapy team.
They know a lot about fibro and how it affects my body and it is the only treatment I have found that gives me relief for my tight muscles. Even after just one session I feel a massive difference, less pain and more movement and mobility.I have also attended their Pilates classes which are very good too.
From the minute I step through the door I always receive a warm welcome and first-class service.
