What medical condition do you suffer from?
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterised by widespread musculo-skeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals. And I have and Chronic Myofascial Pain. Both diagnosed in 2013. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder. In this condition, pressure on sensitive points in your muscles (trigger points) causes pain in the muscle and sometimes in seemingly unrelated parts of your body.
How do you cope with your medical condition and your career/work?
I had to be medically dismissed from work on 24 December 2015. I knew it was coming but it was still a shock after years of corporate work and having my own finance mortgage company.
