I’ve had a lot of enquiries about who is going to be featured in the documentary so, I best introduce you to a few of them! As many of you know, I deliberately included a range of people affected by the condition, as well as researchers, doctors, health professionals and alternative therapists to get an all round picture..

*When dieting with fibromyalgia you have to be careful, too much of a calories deficit is going to cause a flare up, and to many calories is going to make things worse.
Many people with fibro try to lose weight by dramatically, cutting the amount of calories they eat. This only makes things worse. If you’re fatigued already and you’re not getting enough nutrients, the body is going to have an even harder time recovering than it already does.
A healthy weight loss goal for some one with fibro is 1-2lb per week; absolutely no more.
If you suffer really badly from fatigue I would probably go with 1lb loss per week. By consistently losing a small amount of weight we are going to avoid feeling lethargic and even worse than we already do, by still getting our nutrients but having a slight calorie deficit that allows us to lose the weight.
There is only one way to lose weight…the same way you put it on…..slowly!

Hey guys,
Those of you who know me are aware that I have been in talks with FMAUK for a while about getting my unique rehabilitation programme onto DVD format to help people worldwide. There’s a Board Meeting tomorrow (11th September) so fingers crossed the contract will be fully agreed, signed off, and we can get a start date for filming! This is a very exciting time for myself as well as the chronic pain community as this has potential to help so many people. This two disc DVD will feature a one of a kind documentary following my own and sufferers journeys with fibromyalgia and chronic pain; thus raising more awareness and helping to bring these conditions into the light. My hopes is that this increased awareness will support charities, groups and individuals more with their individual lives and ensure better support in the future.
The documentary will also be following Cheryl’s story as we move out of the house and into the hydrotherapy pool, the charity night has been set and all acts have confirmed so I am extremely happy that I will be able to get this on the DVD, Alongside the documentary, the second disc will feature my programme so you can follow it at home and build your own, individual rehabilitation routine.
Off the back of this, I am looking for people who would be willing to share their own stories of chronic pain via Skype for the DVD and their issues, obstacles, support and positives they’ve had. Ideally I’d like to hear from people in Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and within Europe as all of my Skype clients are from the USA. I feel like the more coverage and input we can get worldwide, the better the awareness levels and the more likely it is that people will listen more.
If you want a subject that will make your head spin, then welcome to Part 3- Stretching the truth. Why can some people …
Working with me is hard. Super hard. There’s a long line of people who will tell you the same. Despite the hard journey …
I am a Newcastle based Specialist who, over the past 5 years, has developed pain management programmes for those suffering with Fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). In 2010 I developed a programme that gave me my life back after an Incident in Afghanistan, left me a chronic pain sufferer. A few years later i found that parts of my own programme were transferable to many of those with invisible illnesses. Through research, constant adaption and years of trial and error. I have developed a pain management routine that can be adapted to each individuals personal needs. Which over the years, has seen many people take their lives back. Although I have helped many people over the years, there is no "cure" for chronic. Although my programmes can help you dramatically lower your pain and give you more of your life back. Until we find a cure you will always have your invisible illness, but much like my self, you can still reduce your pain and raise your standard of living. I still to this day get the Chronic cluster migraines, but having them once every few months has given me my life back, after suffering from them everyday. Lauren, who suffers with Class 3 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Fibromyalgia, went from dislocating multiple times a day and having practically immobile hips, to surfing in Mexico and wearing high heels again. Cheryl lost her life for over 15 years to fibromyalgia and cluster-tic; spending most of her days in bed, riddled with pain. She's now fighting back - boxing, circuit training and spending time with her family out of the house. Linda fell on a tent peg, injuring her coccyx and spent many months unable to walk or sleep properly. Today she is now back at work full time and practically pain free. Angela couldn't walk 100 meters without hip and knee pain caused by her fibromyalgia. Today she is doing shuttle runs in the gym and only suffers from very slight fatigue. Ellie suffered with fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome so badly that it caused her to nearly drop out of University. After working together, she is able to get through each and every single day and is on her way to earning her degree.
