"Yes, I am. For the past 3 years. Yeah. I 'm trying to create awareness. People need to understand what it is and how it affects your day to day...a lot of people actually dm me that they are living with Fibromyalgia but in silence because they feel others won't understand or there's so little  knowledge about it." she wrote.
