Lesperance Fibromyagia is the first ever patient led organization in Africa advocating for the rights of persons living with fibromyalgia and creating awareness
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step but for fibro warriors a single step at times feels like a thousand miles walked. We all indeed can play a role in creating awareness on fibromyalgia.

this is so relatable. I have had family say you are ok doing that but you cant do this ..... Or when talking about something about fibro on socials etc and managing to have an articulate conversation and then knocked down "are you sure you have fibro....."

We do not challenge people with cancer to prove they are ill. Its an additional challenge for people with invisible illness to have to justify themselves to others. We need support and not judgement.
