S5 E4: Validating the lived experience of fibromyalgia
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026

In episode four of Inflammation Nation, Consultant Rheumatologist, Dr John Stack, chats with Peter Boyd about the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia. This podcast explores the evolving understanding of fibromyalgia, highlighting a shift toward validating the very real experiences of those affected. The discussion includes a focus on the fact that treatment is not always straightforward or a ‘one size fits all’ but, rather, a culmination of shared decision making between the patient and their healthcare provider to find a treatment plan that works best, addressing the most troubling symptoms, such as widespread pain, extreme fatigue, insomnia and mental health factors including anxiety and depression.
