Andrea Levy, delegate of culture of the City of Madrid, wanted to share with his followers of social networks one of the results of his illness.
Levy announced a few months ago that he suffers from fibromyalgia, a chronic illness that causes great pain in muscles and joints, and that caused him, for example, he locked himself in his speeches and was criticized for that.
“There are times when our body asks for a break and we have to give it to it. The pain, although it is complicated to cope with, it is also a lesson of life,” he writes in a message next to a photograph in which he entered in
The hospital and accompanied by a doctor.
“Sometimes it is frustration and for that reason you have to put all your energies to top to overcome it mentally, lean on people around us honey and project everything we want to do to get ahead,” he adds before giving thanks to the doctor
that he has treated it.
The ‘history’ of fibromyalgia is relatively recent, in the sense that its lack of specificity has made it traditionally confuse with other ailments.
It makes suffering, it is calculated, 3% of the population, at exceeding 85%, women.
It usually appears from 30 years and up to 50, at much less measured out of that strip.
