Lena Dunham has fibromyalgia...symptoms were 'activated' following Blasey Ford's testimony

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.

You know....there’s probably fifty people who continually appear on TV, with zero talent for anything. I’m amazed that we’ve reached the level where you can make money just looking fake-important.

How dare evil Republicans make her suffer by inflicting Brett Kavanaugh upon her!

Just looking at a picture of this pig causes nausea and loss of appetite for me.

It's her body, overwhelmed by hate, turning against her.

It’s OK Lena, I’m pretty sure you are too you to have been the one who molested Dr Ford in 83. By my rekoning, you weren’t even an evil fetus yet.

I worked for a government agency for over 30 years. I had to evaluate medical disability claims. I never saw a case of fibromyalgia in anyone who didn’t have long-standing depression. It used to be called hypochondria or malingering. Then it was decided that they could make a bundle of money by coming up with drugs to treat the “disorder.” The drugs are largely anti-depressants.

Finally... she’s actually a victim of something other than her own stupidity and thunder thighs.

I couldn’t resist the comment at this early hour.

My experience with the affliction is my ex wife leveraging her fibromyalgia claim until she was prescribed loritabs.

Just my own experience.

Besides.

I had a hard time trying to spell “Munchhausen”. .

When the cameras were zoomed in on the mug of Balsey Ford, it was obvious there was no way (in any room with enough light for visibility) she would ever have to worry about someone touching her. The thought of it made me sick to my stomach. After a few beers, however, all was fine.

What is her claim to fame and why do we care what she thinks?

Its not like she needed to be informed about it. Then her illness wouldn’t have been triggered.

But then she wouldn’t have this occasion to beg for attention.

The dormant gout in my right great toe, was resurrected after her testimony also.
