A Laois woman living with chronic pain for more than 20 years says she believes most people suffering in long-term pain stay quiet about it.
Christine Donaldson, from Portlaoise, was diagnosed with fibromyalgia which causes widespread pain, and fatigue.
She has undergone three long-term epidural treatments, of which the last one was unsuccessful, and she will now undergo another MRI.
Ms Donaldson says just doing ordinary tasks is difficult:
