Fibromyalgia is a disorder, currently without a cure, that causes chronic pain and fatigue, among other conditions, and that, unfortunately, often goes unnoticed. It is not a disease that affects only physically, but it transcends the psychological sphere of the patient, with depressive disorders, completely alters their social life and deteriorates, on many occasions, interpersonal and family relationships. In short, it is capable of annulling the person who suffers it.

When starting this project, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, not only on a technical level, but also on an emotional one, and I was right. However, I was convinced that I wanted to do something that would help to do my bit and improve, as far as possible, the reality of these people, so my project focused on this problem:

The incomprehension, difficulty of diagnosis and general adversities faced by people with fibromyalgia and the one around them.
