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.

In the old days they called it hysteria.

I suffered widespread pain after I heard Ford, but it all went away Saturday.

I love being an expert on diseases for which there are NO objective tests and inflict a “certain demographic” with numerous vague symptoms which aren’t particularly serious but become for them “seriously debilitating.” It is like owning a money machine.

Looks kike she is blaming Dr. Christine Blasey Ford for her fibromyalgia attack. Dunham is a petri dish of various nasties so it might be true.

I think this translates to: “Poor little me. Look what you horrible deplorables have done to me! It’s your fault that I suffer.”

All right, collective eye roll of three. One, two, three, eye roll.

LOL. She no doubt has the “Terrible Triad” we see all the time in medicine.

Women who have “fibromyalgia”, migraines and irritable bowel syndrome.

That really means they suffer from depression.

I could sit here and write a 10,000 word essay on fibromyalgia without looking at anything but my fingernails. Once I realized I could become very rich with that knowledge I also realized it would be for the most part fairly unethical. “What does a man gain if he loses his soul in the process.” (Wasoute’s modern translation)

Fibromyalgia is Latin for “I find nothing wrong with you but here are some meds so you’ll stop coming into my office on a weekly basis”

That is not fair to sufferers of this painful malady.

Which makes it more painful for those people to see a privileged actron pretend to have it to get sympathy.

The syndrome we seek to name in this case is Munchhausen’s.
