Just listened to this. Really interesting and honest. Just wish those who don't ( or wont) try to understand fibromyalgia or living with a chronic pain condition can hear it too. She speaks in simple terms,and of how fibro and RA affect her physically and mentally\emotionally and the impact on living with these conditions

Really worth listening too

luckily some friends of mine did listen and realised what Kirsty Y said sounded familiar - they realised I must have the same condition. So when out together and pausing for coffee, they asked… it was such a relief that having heard what Kirsty said, I really did not need to say more tha her story is my story. Now they know …

I sent this yesterday on a link to a podcast, it was the last day to listen to it. I asked if she would download the BBCSounds app bcoz she just doesn't understand my condition at all and keeps asking me to do jobs for her and doesn't understand when I say I can't. She didn't bother listening to it!! But yes I thought it was a good explanation and more awareness need to broadcast like this
