Recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Raising funds for a bike to help with pain management.
Wellington
I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, which is a condition characterised by widespread chronic pain. My go to form of exercise used to be walking, but the pressure it puts on my joints makes it unbearable these days, especially seeing as painkillers make absolutely no difference.
I am raising funds for a bike to help with fitness and weight loss . This will ease the weight on my joints and help me towards a pain-free ( hopefully) existence!
To help with my fitness I am also doing aqua jogging / swimming, as its another form of exercise that that will help without putting pressure on my most painful areas.
Any money that is raised will go toward a decent quality bike, and a lock to keep it safe.
I have already received donations from friends that will cover a helmet and some high vis gear to make me visible on the road.
I am so grateful for every donation, they are really going to make a difference for my recovery.
