Lena Dunham has revealed she suffers from fibromyalgia.

The star, 32, opened up about living with the disorder in a candid Instagram post she shared with her followers on Saturday, revealing her symptoms were 'activated' a day after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Fibromyalgia is a disorder associated with widespread pain throughout the body, and impacts mostly women.

....

'On the day after Dr. Ford's testimony I awoke with a start at 3am. It felt like every cell in my neck was singing. My ankles and wrists were weak and my fingers didn't do their assigned job.

'Yesterday I felt like I was suspended in gel, and when I meditated a line of pain zipped from my neck to my foot. I'm sorry if I don't answer your text or email, or if I can't show up the way someone else would. I appear to be totally able bodied but it's complex, and I am just trying to do everything required to maintain a life of joy and service.

“Rather than having children and being mothers, their primary goal in life is to make a difference.”

Well, to feel they make a difference, anyway. While their children are raised by day care workers, and given a video display to keep them occupied when at home.

Referring to Lena Dunham as a “star” is WAY beyond a stretch.

Don’t even stay in the room with a physician that doesn’t seem to respect you. But you, as you say, are a professional, so you know that. Sorry about your health issues. Find someone you trust and stick with them. One way to navigate is to find a primary care doc you trust. They will tend to refer you to people they trust. Don’t shop for specialists on your own. This is what I do for my primary care. God bless.

In the old days they called it hysteria.

The crazies were locked in the attic. We should bring back that practice.

I can’t speak to your personal situation, because I don’t know you and stuff, but ...

I’m finding that as time goes by, watching what I eat and drink, and taking care of myself is become more and more important. Junk food and junk drinks lead to feeling junky. Same with lack of exercise.

But again, I don’t know you our your circumstances. You could be Jim Fixx or Jack LaLane.

Either way, take care of yourself. Friend of mine tells me, “You only get one health, take care of it.” I think I’m beginning to believe him.

I agree with you.

I’ve been following a keto diet and have been losing weight and feeling better.

Stopped eating BREAD and wheat completely as part of it.

Going Gluten-free is NOT HARD.

Meat, eggs, cheese, fruits and veggies, nothing else.

DO NOT BOTHER to buy special expensive gluten-free foods- they taste like crap anyway.

Eggs for breakfast, chicken-salad over spinach for lunch, a small piece of steak and roasted veggies for dinner, a lot of SPRING water (not the chemical laden crap from the tap unless filtered)

You’ll lose 20 pounds every month.

And there I thought there was no difference between men and women...
