Bauchi Governor’s daughter reveals she is living with Fibromyalgia

The daughter of Bauchi State Governor, Fatima Zara Bala, has revealed that she is living with Fibromyalgia, as she called for more awareness on the syndrome.

Fibromyalgia, also called fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), is a long-term chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompained by fatigue, sleep, and cognitive difficulties.

Zara, who is preparing for her wedding ceremony, made the revelation during a question and answer session with her followers on Instagram, adding that she is trying to create awareness on the condition.

“Yes, I am. For the past 3 years. Yeah. I ‘m trying to create awareness. People need to understand what it is and how it affects your day to day…a lot of people actually dm me that they are living with Fibromyalgia but in silence because they feel others won’t understand or there’s so little knowledge about it.” she wrote.
