‘Reporte Semanal’ talks about fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome. One and a half million people live with pain, affected by numerous ailments and they are mainly suffered by women. It is another of those diseases with a thousand faces that, in some cases, takes years to diagnose. Doctor Antonio Collado, who presides over the Spanish Society of Fibromyalgia, tells us that "everyone should know that this disease has a neurological alteration, a physiopathology that affects the pain fibers, the development of pain, the transmission of pain and the consequences that this has on the rest of the brain areas that leave patients very limited and disabled."

The strength of the patients and associations such as AFRIBOAL, in Almansa (Albacete), have been trying for years to make the disease visible, offering alternative therapies to alleviate health deficits and asking for more research. It is rare, but there are medical teams that are looking for explanations to know what precipitates the extreme sensitization of the nervous system that ends up causing that pain, chronic fatigue or insomnia.
