The obvious answer to this is 'Yes', but it struck me just how serious this can potentially be. At the weekend, I heard that someone I knew who I often used to chat to about our respective experiences had died. It was a real shock to the family and knocked me for six too. What is worrying - and I don't mean to depress anyone - is that she died of leukaemia and it was only diagnosed a week before her death! I was therefore wondering just how much our everyday experience can hide something underlying; if we get a new ache or pain, we chalk it up to Fibromyalgia. It's a bit like COVID - apart from the respiratory problems, most of the symptoms are ones we'll all be very familiar with.
Anyway, it's perhaps just a reminder for us all not to ignore new symptoms.
My thoughts go with her family.
