57 Jess Davanzo

<p>This week I talk to my very dear friend Jess.</p> <p>I knew her for a while before I knew quite how ill she was, and I really wanted to have her on the show to talk about fibromyalgia as it is a hidden illness that many people know very little about.</p> <p>As Jess explains she has a rather 'messed up' immune system, she suffered with Guillian-Barre Syndrome, PCOS and Hashimoto's Thyriodism. That compounded with an extremely stressful time ended in her being hospitalised and told she would never walk again - she wasn't even 30.</p> <p>Jess is an amazingly strong person, and she talks honestly about her determination not to let the disease define her.</p> <p>Full notes and links www.hillstart.me.uk/57</p>
