'I couldn't hold a pen' Mum reveals fibromyalgia battle – same illness as Kirsty Young
WHEN I read recently that BBC broadcaster Kirsty Young has been forced to take a break from Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs because she has a form of fibromyalgia I felt huge sympathy for her. I know just how debilitating this illness can be because I’ve suffered from it myself. I had started 2016 on a health high.
In 2015 I had managed to lose more than 3st 5lb and had overcome a health scare when I developed sepsis after a hysterectomy.
I was feeling really positive and determined, as my 40th birthday loomed, that I would be going into a new decade in a positive place.
In February, I started to notice that my hands were aching and I felt generally unwell. Not terribly sick but enough that it started to nag at me.
It felt as if I was getting flu but the flu never came.
The pain in my hands got worse, at times they felt very stiff.
Then the pain started to spread.
