My Experience of Fibromyalgia

In this episode, Niraj speaks with Clark about her lived experience with fibromyalgia—a chronic pain condition that’s often misunderstood. Clark shares what her journey to diagnosis looked like, how fibromyalgia affects her day-to-day life, and why it's so hard to explain an invisible and fluctuating disability to others. She talks openly about the physical pain, emotional impact, and stigma she faces, as well as the coping strategies that help her manage—like using mobility aids and building a supportive community. Clark also highlights how friendships have shifted over time and what true support looks like. This episode is a real and honest insight into what it’s like living with a condition that most people can’t see but affects everything. To get connected with Niraj, find him on Instagram.
