Just watched Lady Gaga's documentary on Netflix. I was thinking and hoping she would talk about her fibromyalgia and treatments.
It was only about her music and performing. She did mention she had body aches and they showed her having some injections but that's it.
I was just hoping for more.

Members shared disappointment that Lady Gaga's Netflix documentary focused primarily on her music and performances rather than her experience with fibromyalgia, with many expressing hope that a high-profile discussion could have helped raise awareness and understanding of the condition. Several members noted that Gaga likely had not yet received her fibromyalgia diagnosis when the documentary was filmed, as she only briefly mentioned body aches she attributed to an old hip injury. A recurring theme was the recognition that wealth and resources can make managing fibromyalgia easier, alongside appreciation for Morgan Freeman's advocacy work in speaking publicly about the condition and participating in research efforts.

I know he does. One thing I was thinking about her thoigh, is if I have that much money, you bet I'm going to have an easier time finding something that's going to help one way or another.
Reg folks aren't that lucky.

Wonderful gentleman and speaker. I check on anything new he finds out on new treatments and research. Very smart and well informed gentleman. I'm sorry anyone has it, but at least people are willing to listen to his voice, including medical/research places. I'm thankful he stepped up to be heard for all of us.

It was obvious at the time the documentary was made she was not diagnosed. She only complained a few times about body aches that she thought was related to a few years ago when she broke her hip. It was about three minutes total of the whole hour and a half show.

I think the fibro community built it up to be more about fibro than her music. I believe she is a musician first . She may have fibromyalgia but she obviously (as this documentary shows) does not let it dominate her life.
